Single storey extension to kitchen plus alteration/improvements to annex building –
amended plans 4 Carpenters Yard – Mr & Mrs Walpole
A site viewing was requested and the following comments made to the Borough Council,
The Parish Council are concerned with the increase in roof height, and that it will be a
self -contained dwelling within a garden, and will lead to increased traffic, making it over
development of the site. If it is approved the council would like all over looking windows of
obscured glass and all materials to be in keeping

64. WP/2012/0221/F
Single storey front extension 8a Pytchley Road Mr Talbot
A site viewing was also requested. The Parish Council was concerned that there were no detailed
measurements on the plans.It was felt that extending the property will adversely affect the street
scene as will adding gables. We have concerns regarding the access on to the road, and if approved
concerns re access to the building during construction.

65. WP/012/0211/F
New House and access road, Land at Orlingbury Hall, Mr Webb
There were concerns about access from a 60mph road. It is ouside the village envelope. It is not of
sufficient architectural merit,too near to a grade 2 listed building and out of keeping with the village
scene A site viewing was requested.
