The 'odd-looking' two-storey home extension was built without permission and encroaches onto a neighbour's house
A Rossendale couple whose 'odd-looking' two-storey home extension was built without permission and encroaches onto a neighbour's house have had a retrospective planning application refused.
A previous application seeking retrospective approval was refused in December 2021 on visual and neighbour amenity grounds. An enforcement notice was issued on the same day requiring the extension to be removed and the land to be suitably restored. "I am totally against it. If this was passed, it would cause heartache and pain. It would also lead to other people putting up inappropriate extensions. We all want people to have nice houses but we also have to follow the rules. If we don't, then we end-up where we are today. Please refuse this application."
She added: "My husband is away for periods of time. We have a young family and one of our children was having problems with anxiety. The first floor extension was for that child, so she didn't need to share a bedroom. which was contributing to her anxiety. " Labour Coun Jacqueline Oakes had some sympathy with the family's position but asked if they were being asked to demolish the whole extension to make amends?
Then Labour Coun Andy MacNae asked about different changes to the extension. These included suggested amendments, which apparently could have made it acceptable, and other actual, physical changes that were made. She said: I have been contacted by neighbours who have considerable concerns about this. I would also like to thank councillor Granville Morris for calling this to the committee, so it can be given proper scrutiny.
Independent Coun James Eaton asked council planning officers if they had any reaction to a planning inspector's comments on issues such as daylight, over-looking, over-development and surface water draining onto a neighbour's property at 270. The inspector did not believe these were risks under the current propsals.
James Dalgleish said demolition plans or a new plan for potential rebuilding were separate matters to the application for the extension with pitched roof and rendering.
