| Location | Proposal | Application No. and link to CBC planning website | Object / Support / Observations | Decision or Recommendation | Comments by Planning Committee |
| 17 Lexden Road
West Bergholt CO6 3BT |
Existing rear detached Garage roof space conversion into storage/office. | 161229 | Observation | Decision | The Parish Council have no objection to the conversion, except to bring to the attention of the Borough Council the dormer windows which overlook a neighbouring garden. The Council would recommend obscure glass in those windows to maintain the neighbour’s privacy. |
| Lynton
The Crescent West Bergholt CO6 3DA |
Proposed ground floor and first floor rear extensions. | 161322 | Object | Decision | The Parish Council have no objection to the property being extended, but cannot comment as the plans give no context to the neighbouring property. There is a lack of information in the plans which make it difficult to judge the impact on the neighbour to the right. Please refer to DG7 & DG8 of CBC approved Village Design Statement. |

West Bergholt CO6 3BW Â |
Single storey extension to existing dwelling. | 161473 | Support | Decision | The Parish Council has no comment. |
