Erection of a conservatory on flat roof extension to rear elevation

Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Conservatory sited on existing flat-roofed rear balcony, limiting additional bulk
• ✓Frosted glass side walls used to prevent overlooking of neighbours
• ✓No response received from the other adjoining neighbour after contact
• ✓Site within Conservation Area and Residential designation under Peel Local Plan
• ✓heritage

The proposal involved erecting a conservatory on the flat roof of an existing rear balcony at 44 Patrick Street, a semi-detached house on the western side of Patrick Street within Peel's Conservation Area and an area designated as Residential under the Peel Local Plan. The conservatory was intended to extend the usable living space within the property. The main planning concern was potential overlooking of neighbouring properties, which was addressed by fitting both side walls with frosted glass. The officer wrote to the other adjoining neighbour but received no response, and on that basis recommended approval.

The application was approved under delegated powers with three conditions.
