That is very, very mediocre.

Not sure why anyone would object to this other than a neighbour who doesn't want construction going on, or worried they will lose some privacy. But really building a house on a plot that is big enough, on a residential street, in an area that needs more housing seems like it's going to get waved through.

I've been wondering what was going on there with the makeshift gate to the back garden. I see the owner is also having to apply for a certificate of lawfulness for the existing house, to use as a house of multiple occupation. IMO that place is an eyesore, and the hedge needs cutting back.

I would have thought that this new house - with inbuilt garage - would have impacted on the right to light for the houses next door. The design isn't going to win any awards - it looks pretty dull to me.

Would be nice if it blended in with the existing houses. It's rather garish.

You could even make a small access road down the right of it so the other two houses behind it could build on their gardens too - they might want to at a later date. This is removing any opportunity for them.

Let's hope that there is some sort of car parking provision.
