Purpose

An update to an existing adopted
‘Householder's Guide to Extension Design’, first
published in 2008. This is to ensure the document reflects changes
in National Planning Policy, the Council’s residential design
guide, and changes to legislation in relation to permitted
development rights.

This will strengthen its position for use in decision making.
