Construction of pitched roof over existing front dormer and side canopy.
Parish Comments:- No Objections, however due to the planning history which was tied into an agricultural use in the past which has now been lifted, we do believe permitted development rights should be removed.

Replacement Dwelling.
Parish Comments:- Object. Policies GB11 (b), (c), (d) & (e), EP3 & H9 (a) & (b) all apply! This was originally a bungalow which has grown over the years and we believe would now be over the 50% green belt rules. The 3rd storey is completely out of character, the original dwellings in this road are moderate to small sized dwellings. We believe this is being used as a HMO and we believe the new house will be used for the same reasons!

We also have concerns around the publics access from other neighbouring houses who currently use the rear access for wheelie bins to and from the rear of their properties. We highly recommend that SBDC do a site visit.
If the conifer/cypress hedge remains it would cause no problems to any neighbours, but removing it would be a loss of an amenity.
