Residential extension within the gardens grounds of existing house.

The application for planning permission was submitted in June 2025 and granted through delegated officer decision on 27 Feb 2026.

Key matters incluide impact on surrounding residential amenity, setting of existing villa from proposed the scale, massing and materiality reflecting the original dwelling. SHP worked collaboratively with the architects in preparing a complete application submission package including preparing Planning Statement. Through discussions with CEC and applicant team, SHP prepared a strong argument given the large scale and massing of the proposed extension. A balanced approach was established through a revised design, scale and materiality, reflecting discussions with the planning officer, which resulted in a positive delegated approval
