Extension objection

Kenilworth Town Council has objected to a two storey side and rear extension and loft conversion on Littleton Close.

Members said the extension was "inappropriate" in size and would involve "changing the character of the

established streetscene". The application already has nine other objections to it. See the application here.

Objection to bungalow's build

Kenilworth Town Council has also kept its objection to a bungalow's extension saying it would have "a seriously detrimental effect on both the amenity of neighbouring property and the character of the established streetscene". The council had initially objected to the application in October, but has maintained its position even after revised plans were submitted. See the application here.
