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

Construction of a two-storey side extension measuring approximately 7.5 x 3.2 metres to provide a new ground floor entrance hall, WC, utility room and study/living space, and a first floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The extension will have a pitched roof and rendered walls with windows to match the existing dwelling.

About householder applications

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden, such as extensions, lofts and outbuildings, and cannot create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. More in our guide to planning application types.
