| ADDRESS: 1 Kings Mead Park
- APPLICATION NUMBER: 2024/3263
- PROPOSAL: Tree Preservation Order EL:09/40 - T1 Copper beech on attached document.
1. Reduce crown on south east side of the tree in line with green line on plan. Reason: Recent high winds during Storm Conall brought down branches and caused damage to rear lower level roof (guttering damage). Crown has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and this would make the tree crown better proportions.
2. Thin the crown 10% Reason: Crown has grown thick again since last work carried out in 2017 and this would aid light transmission to neighbouring garden and benefit tree health.
3. Remove dead branches Reason: To improve tree health 4. Reduce crown on North East side of the property in line with green line on plan. Reason: Tree has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and now overhangs neighbouring property garden and corner of the house. Preventative measure to reduce risk of damage to property from falling objects.
- CPC VERDICT: Objection to 1.
- EBC VERDICT: Grant in Part/Refuse in Part β TPO

- APPLICATION NUMBER: 2024/3262
- PROPOSAL: Part two/part single storey rear/side extension incorporating rear balcony and rear canopy, first-floor front extension, side rooflight, front porch and alterations to fenestration following partial demolition of existing house.
- CPC VERDICT: No Objections, With Comments
We feel that Obscured glazing should be added to the First Floor Rooflight.
- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission.
The proposal by the virtue of its design, scale, bulk and appearance and positioning in relation to the neighbouring properties, would result in a dominant and incongruous form of development, further it is not considered to be in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and would result in adverse impact and harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the requirements of Policy CS17 of the Core Strategy 2011, Policy DM2 of the Development Management Plan 2015 and the Design and Character SPD Companion Guide: Home Extensions 2012 and the NPPF 2024
