Yew Tree House is timber-framed and rough-case rendered with roofs in a mixture of glazed and red clay pantiles. The former farmhouse was built in the late 16th century and has since been divided into two. The proposal is to remove the existing hedge that marks the front boundary between the two houses, planted in 1960s. The privet-style hedge is approximately 4ft 6in high, 2ft wide and 46ft long and has become unwieldy, bulges in places and does not reach the front boundaries of the property. After taking advice from East Suffolk Conservation Office, the replacement natural planed wood picket fence will be 4ft high and 50 ft long. The fence will be treated with Alkaline Copper Quat to protect it against decay, rot and insect attack without the use of harmful chemicals. The hedge will be removed late summer or early autumn to avoid disturbing any nesting birds.

A single storey rear extension accessed from the kitchen 4.90m x 3.30m with a pitched roof of < 25 degrees with skylights [highest point max 3m]. No windows overlooking neighbouring properties. The rear 4.90m wall is adjacent to the rear of the neighbouring property's detached garage only with no/little impact on views as set behind 2m fence panel boundary wall. [note: similar to 3 green oaks extension built 5 years ago]. Extension 90cm set back from rear wall line of property at 1 Green Oaks avoiding any impact on light or views. No changes to plumbing / sewerage. Roof tiled with same style/materials of existing house roof. Exterior of extension clad in brick matching existing house walls. Side elevations - wall and glass doors to gardens, double or triple glazed for sound proofing & heat retention. TPO trees are more than 25 metres from site and access does not pass trees.

We would like to install a new 1m high fence. The installation would also include a new gate. The enclosure will be adjacent to the road but it is a continuation of the existing brick wall on our boundary. A space would still be left for parking at the side of the house. Our rear garden sides on to Halls Drift and the fence would offer us extra privacy and make the area look neater.
