Proposal

The application proposes the erection of sun room and porch extensions.

The proposed extension would be located on the southwest gable end wall of the dwelling, which would have a side projection of 4.25 metres, a depth of 3.65 metres and a maximum height of 4.5 metres.

The proposed porch would be located on the north east gable end wall and would have a side projection of 0.9 metres, a depth of 2.2 metres.

Representations

Highways Division have no objection

The Planning Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / Recommendation

The proposed extension and porch have both been designed to be in keeping with the existing property. The extension is modest in size and would not result in any adverse impacts to the detriment of the residential amenity of the neighbouring properties or the visual impact upon the locality. The porch would also have no adverse impact to the locality. For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.
