English Heritage says the application is a 'sympathetic way of extending a building upwards'
The applicant’s Planning Statement states: “The proposal to raise the roof to create new housing is in line with the government’s requirements for using existing buildings to create new homes.
“Materials to the walls will match the existing and will be clad in stone cladding slips with a dark grey matching roof. This approach has been accepted by English Heritage on many occasions as being a sympathetic way of extending a building upwards. The building is structurally capable of being extended in this way.”
The planning report says that 11 letters of objection were submitted, including one from Maltby Parish Council – however, there is a letter of support, as well. The objectors claim parking will be an issue at the site and Phoenix Court is a historic building which has not “been properly maintained”.
