DH3: Rear Extensions

Rear extensions on residential properties should be subordinate in scale to the original dwelling, complement its character in terms of design, proportion, materials and detail, should not harm the amenity of adjacent properties, and should retain a significant area of garden or amenity space which is proportionate to that of neighbouring properties in the surrounding area. Development should respect and preserve existing architectural features where these contribute to local character and appearance, for example projecting bays and decorative balconies.
