N3: Rear and Side Extensions
To ensure rear and side extensions make a positive contribution to the character and amenity of the Norland Neighbourhood Area they must:
- avoid a serious loss of garden space, which, on its own or together with neighbouring gardens, is important to the character of the area.
- remain subservient to the host building.
- in the case of rear infill extensions be set back from existing closet wing extensions so as to preserve the rhythm of the rear facade of a terrace or street.
- in the case of rear extensions avoid the addition of a balcony or terrace unless it is a predominant feature of the terrace.
- in the case of side extensions or side porches reflect the rhythm, punctuation and symmetry of the street scene.
