Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22482

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Miss Judith Rogers

Representation Summary:

Extensions: Policy needs to incorporate measures against the 'serial extender' who will constantly add small extension to their property. The extensions individually may not require planning, and therefore a property may change considerably without the planning department having seen a single plan. A limit must be placed on the amount and size of extensions allowed.

Annexes: Policy need to cover what happens when the annex is no longer required for the purpose it was put up for. If the property changes hands, this will sell as a much larger property and be used as part of the main dwelling.
