Initial planning reference: 140648 (2013).

Proposed two storey extension at rear and first floor extension over porch. Erection of garage and formation of new crossover and driveway (existing entrance to be blocked off). Rear extension.

Roman remains were known from the HER.

The applicant reduced the size of the proposed rear extension to within permitted development parameters on a site where Roman remains were known to be present in order to avoid an archaeological condition or other requirement in connection with a planning application.

No information is available about the impact of the development since it became permitted development.
