Heath Ridge Green

This proposal sought permission for the extension and comprehensive refurbishment of a detached dwelling in Cobham, comprising two-storey front and rear extensions, roof alterations, and external redesign to deliver a contemporary five-bedroom family home. The site lay within an established residential area characterised by large, individually designed dwellings, and the scheme responded to this context through a scale and form consistent with the prevailing pattern of development.

The key planning considerations related to design quality, impact on local character, and neighbouring amenity. The proposal maintained established building lines, respected plot proportions, and adopted a contemporary interpretation of surrounding architectural forms, ensuring it integrated appropriately within the street scene. The design demonstrated compliance with daylight, privacy, and wider planning policies, and overall represented a policy-compliant and contextually responsive enhancement of the existing dwelling.
