Extension 1. The application is for a renewal of an identical application that was approved in 2016. 2. The site currently accommodates a small house and two sheds. It is bounded by residential property on two sides, a paddock to the rear and is on the residential fringe of Westleton. The prevailing scale in the neighbourhood is varied with traditional one and two storey dwellings with one much larger property next door. 3. The existing house is to be extended to provide a single storey garage and an additional bedroom and ground floor bathroom to make the accommodation more modern and flexible. 4. The proposed dwelling will have no openings onto neighbouring properties and is screened by hedges and fences with the principal trees and boundary hedging and fencing being retained. 5. Highway access, bin and oil storage will be unchanged. 6. The exception is to increase the height of the existing perimeter willow fence to up to 3 meters (to graduate up after a minimum of 4 meters from the roadway) along the boundary between the cottage and the new building next door to improve privacy for both buildings following the new build increasing the land elevation in their back garden and increased scale of overlooking windows. 7. External materials are limited to brick and tiling compatible with local styles. 8. No biodiversity issues are presented by the proposals. 9. The site has been checked for contamination in 2017 and 2019 with no issues being found. 10. The site is not within a Conservation Area and the building is not listed.

Silver Birch ( T4) - Fell due to: 1) Structural damage to brick wall. This is now beggining to crack despite being built with a plinth over tree roots. 2) Overhanging branches with neighbours garage. 3) Complaints from neighbours regarding the amount of silver birch seeds that are shed during the summer / autumn months and are causing a nuisance when windows are open. We wish to replace the tree by planting a mature sapling next to the silver birch roots. We would welcome the guidance of the tree officer as to the type and size that would be appropriate Yew ( T3) : Reduction of approximately 25% to rebalance the tree following part felling by a neighbour / BT on opposite side. Lime tree ( T2) : to prune back some of the overhanging minor branches at base of the tree. ( Do not own tree as based in hagley community fields.)
