Application by serving employee in a restricted post.
The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented this application a single storey rear extension to enlarge the kitchen and dining area at 4 Cockcrow Wood, St. Leonards on Sea.
The application site is a detached two-storey house located on the west side of Cockcrow Wood. The site is located in a predominantly residential area characterised by 1960s detached and semi-detached estate housing. There is a group TPO on the trees located in the rear section of the application garden. The group TPO stretches beyond the site boundary to the north-east and south-west. The site backs onto the Conquest Hospital site.
The application seeks permission for the erection of a single storey flat roof rear extension with a depth of 4.5m, height of 3.3m and width of 6.3m. The extension would be finished in facing brickwork to match the main house.
The Planning Services Manager advised that the application had been brought before the Planning Committee because the applicant was a council employee in a politically restricted post.
Members were informed of several updates to the report:-

A section of trellis fence (1.8m above ground level) is proposed on the northern boundary shared with 5 Cockcrow Wood opposite the proposed extension. Amend condition 5 as follows:
