Key concern: loss of natural light to bedroom of partially sighted neighbour
Resident at 3 Bradda View
ObjectionThe single story extension to the rear of the existing double garage with the pitched roof will result in the loss of natural light to my bedroom. I will be particularly affected by this loss of light due to the fact that I’m registered as partially sighted.; The proposal shows that a new external door will be built leading out of a utility room which will be right opposite my bedroom window.; I believe this combined additional floor space created would be out of proportion to the original house and grounds.; I believe the widening of vehicular access to incorporate a potential 4 vehicles is excessive and would be detrimental to the look of the entrance to the estate especially with the property being a corner plot.
