The applicant sought to build a detached house in the garden, fronting onto Fordwich Rise.
The Society objected on the grounds that the plot dimensions are inadequate resulting in the house being too close to the back edge of the pavement and, given the site is located close to one of the entrances to the estate, it creates a discordant visual impression on entry.
The estate does not fall within the Conservation Area, but because the houses almost all display the distinctive architectural style of the period immediately before the Second World War, it is our view that the area is worthy of protection from developments which are in conflict with the general setting adopted in the original layout.
The application was refused, but is now subject to written appeal.
