‘construction of a single storey ground floor rear extension. Rear extension shall only extend by 3m beyond the current existing extension. This would create a cumulative depth of 5.5m beyond the original wall of the property. This would be acceptable as it is only 3m beyond the neighbouring ground floor habitable window.
