Like Hailey's comet, you wait for ages then it turns out to be crap. After almost two months we've had our response from the Council, a single vague and unhelpful page of A4 with classics such as "on this side of [name of road] is a line of single storey dwellings... no.[x] to the rear is two storey, nos. [y & z] are more one and a half storey. Dwellings on the opposite side of the road are more mixed in height and scale." (My italics).
Anyway, apart from everything she doesn't like integral garages, the overall size, and windows in the south elevation on the grounds that would restrict the future redevelopment of the bungalow to the south. But a) if we were not to put in any south-facing windows then it would free them up to put in as many windows as they wanted. And b) all those windows that would be overlooking our solid unbroken brickwork would be, for them, north-facing which would probably be only bathrooms.
We've restricted our north-facing windows because of the bedroom windows across the way which are already there. Now we have to restrict our south-facing windows because of the windows that aren't there, but might be there one day, but we know will only be bathrooms.
See what Knott makes of this.
