Planning appeal decision
177 Whitton Avenue East, Ealing, Greenford, UB6 0QF
Planning appeal 3354110 at 177 Whitton Avenue East, Ealing, Greenford, UB6 0QF (London Borough of Ealing) was dismissed on 24 April 2025 by Inspector Hobbs J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposed extension would be permitted under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO.
The house is semi detached - attached on one side and ally way on the other. Currently we already have a 3m extension and are looking to extend this a further 2m - bringing the overall extension from the original house to 5m. This will be a single story extension. In the new proposed extension - it is proposed to use part of the space for a new bathroom including a toilet and shower. The reason for creating a new toilet and shower space is for ease of use for the elderly living in the house
