Permission was granted for an extension to the rear of the dwelling at Laurel Bank Farm, Glen Helen, to house a swimming pool. The application was amended during its consideration: the link extension was widened, an open area removed, and additional facilities including a sauna, shower, gym, and hall on the upper floor were incorporated. The roof form was also changed to a pitched roof with two additional rear dormers, and French doors on the north elevation were replaced with windows. The site is accessed off Starvey Road and the building cluster is noted as quite prominent from this rural road. The decision was made by the Director of Planning under delegated powers and was approved on 19 August 2004, subject to two conditions.
