• Hill Farm House Lamberts Lane Rushmere St Andrew Ipswich Suffolk IP5 1DS

  DC/20/0781/FUL Submitted 24 Feb 2020 100 yards away

  Erection of timber summer house in garden. Proposed location as per document 1. Would not be visible from public footpath, nor from our home, except from utility room window and small bedroom window, see document 2. We have thought carefully about where to locate it, and proposed site is screened by hedge and fencing with climbing rose. There would be no significant impact on the house or view. It would not adjoin the house and would not be permanent, in that it could easily be dismantled. Document 3 is an example of proposed summer house.
