(Amended Plans)

Bay window and canopy to front, single storey rear extension, single storey extension to front of garage (AMENDED PLAN RECEIVED) 191252 Object Decision The Parish Council would reiterate its previous comment:

With the garage being converted and the only existing parking space being reduced to 4.5m in depth as a result of the proposed extension, no suitable off-street parking is proposed. As the property is located in an area where there are severe parking issues (so much so that people regularly park on the pavements and the adjacent green open space) the Parish Council objects to this application and considers it contrary to the West Bergholt Village Design Statement  policies DG35 and DG36 adopted by CBC. 

Even with the amended plans, parking is still a major issue with the loss of a parking space being unacceptable whilst parking is still occurring on the neighbouring greensward.
