Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Demolition of existing extension to northwest elevation, formation of single-storey extension (lower-ground floor) with raised terrace above (ground floor) to southwest elevation and two-and-a-half-storey extension to northwest elevation, proposed stepped access to rear outdoor amenity space and associated works.
