Wendy Harris
Objectionfollowing the erection of the proposed porch you would struggle to park a motor bike!; the existence of two windows impacts on my personal privacy because they overlook my bedroom and look down into my front lounge.; All trace of greenery has been removed and I find this hard to believe that this would have been sanctioned
John McCloskey
Objectionthis porch would entirely erase an off-street parking space from the original paved hard-standing area; any seclusion and privacy I currently enjoy from my front elevation, within my garden and garage area, would be significantly diminished.; These constructions seem a total disregard to the existence and integrity of the planning department
John McCloskey
