We do a lot of appeals for two-storey side extensions (as we have explained before in this article) and this was a typical example of a council nervous about a relatively large extension that could be seen from the street.
Were council has refused planning permission because it thought the extension too large. The inspector agreed that it was large (with a width of 8.8m) but decided that it would integrate well with the existing house.
It would have a matching ridge height and a new gable to add architectural interest. It would not be overly dominant and would not appear out of place.
This is not our first victory against Wyre Council for a two-storey side extension, check out our 2023 success here.
If you have been refused planning permission for an extension to your home, do not hesitate to get in touch!
