The committee noted that there were no footways within this single lane and requested that the application be bought to the attention of the Borough’s Highway Officer. In addition, the appearance of the proposal was not considered to be in keeping with the street scene and therefore to be contrary to policy DG1.

| 12/03278 (Full) |
Birnam, Monks Walk, Ascot, SL5 9AZ
Two storey rear extension and minor fenestration changes to the existing rear elevation
Recommendation: Objections. The proposal was considered to be overdevelopment due to the size and positioning of the extension and to be out of keeping with the street scene. The use of dormer windows at first floor level was considered to be harmful to the neighbourhood amenity as they would overlook adjacent plots. The committee requested that the application be referred to the Borough’s Tree Officer due to the potential loss of trees and the concern about their root protection zone. They also requested that the length and angle of the extension be checked as to whether or not it infringed design guidelines. |
