Green light for extension

AN EXTENSION and alterations to a Green Belt dwelling in Kingsley would not be harmful to the village conservation area, a planning application heard.

Applicants Mr and Mrs Conduit raised the proposal at 3 Hurst Mews, The Hurst.

Planning officers at Cheshire West and Chester Council said permission was being sought for a single storey rear extension and alterations to a door and window of a proposed utility area also at the rear.

There were no representations from neighbours who were notified and Kingsley Parish Council had no objection.

Sandstone ward councillor Hugo Deynem had no observations.

The property was within the Green Belt but it was considered the proposed development would not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original dwelling, according to a report.

It would be an appropriate development.

There also would be no significant harm to the significance of the conservation area and its character and appearance would at least be preserved, the report revealed.

The proposed development would be in keeping with the character and appearance of the original dwelling, nearby properties and the wider surroundings.

Regard had been given to the relative positions of windows and other aspects and it was considered the proposal would not have a significant impact having particular regard to residential amenity.

There would be no unacceptable effect with regard to highway safety.

Planning permission was recommended subject to conditions and taking into account all other planning considerations.

Cheshire West and Chester Council agreed Mr and Mrs Conduit could have approval.
