المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsA planning row has erupted after a council approved a home redevelopment – despite neighbours raging against the proposals.
Richmond Council has given the go-ahead to a massive extension to a property in the affluent west London district of Twickenham.
The application, which has already been approved along 8 Ellesmere Road, will involve a part single-storey and two-storey side and rear extension.
But the construction work will not stop there. The new plans will also include pitched roofs and rooflights, as well as the removal of a chimney.
TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThe tight-knit community was furious at the shocking extent of the plans and flagged concerns over the future impact on residents.
Resident Christopher Martin fought against the council plans, but to no avail.
Bryan Staff, acting as consultant for the applicant, and homeowner Mikaela Hedin managed to convince the council to pass the plans.
Houses in the area cost an overall average of £1million, experts at Rightmove said.
Despite the residents banding together to resist the plan, the council's report said: "The proposed development is of generous proportions; however, owing to the site's individual context, it would respect the character and form of the existing house, Ellesmere Road and the Ravensbourne Road and East Twickenham Character Areas."
