hi everybody.now where to start!i live in an end of terrace house with a strip of land approx 12' wide at the side which is currently being used as a car port.i want to build a two-storey extension there and i consulted two locally well-established builders who said they couldn't see a problem with planning.obviously they're not planners,but they have a good working knowledge of what's likely to pass and what's not.we then had a professional draw up and submit our plans,who also thought we'd have no problems.can you see where i'm going with this!!just heard today that the plans have failed because "the proposed extension by virtue of it's combined height and proximity to the boundary of the dwellinghouse will appear unduly prominent and result in a loss of space at first floor level that would lead to a cramped form of development detrimental to the appearance of the streetscene and character of the area contrary to the objectives of policies QL1 of Kent and Medway Structure Plan 2006 and BNE1 of the Medway local plan 2003"phew!our agent says appeal straight away,but this can take 7 months,our other option is to submit revised plans,maybe staggering the extension.would value any advice re what's the best course of action.thanks,sorry for the overlong post.
