OPEN FORUM – Martin and Ann Flower of Little Morton, The Pound spoke of their concerns over application number 03/41188 Brunswick House. Mr Flower said they had no problem with the proposed loft conversion but the play room over the garage would make this wall much higher than the current single storey flat roof. It would affect the quality of light as their kitchen window would face this wall and the extension would bring the wall closer to the boundary of their property. Mr Flower said that Peter Carey from RBWM Planning was due to conduct a site visit next week.
