Hi
I have applied for planning permission to build a single story extension to my terraced house.
I am building it across the whole of my land. My next door neighbour has objected to the plans. It seems that he cannot seem to be able to read plans.
The feedback that I am getting from the council is that they are worried about the size.
The reason for the extension is the size it is is so that my father who recently had a stroke and who is now wheel chair bound can come and live with us for the foreseable future. Having taking advice from the different government runs services, mainly the OT from social services, who looks at the space and advises so that my fathers needs are met. The OT has stated that the extension is just big enough for his needs. There would be no reason to build it if we cannot use all the space.
My other neighbours have no problems with the extension.
Being that this extension is for the rehoming of my father who is classed as disabled, is there anyway to sway the council to agreeing planning permission.
When I spoke to them they stated that they could agree to it due to personal reasons, but I cannot find any legislation to cover this.
If we dont get planning permission, I dont really want to cut off 1.5 metres as space inside is precious and it would not fulfill my fathers needs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
