Their planning agent previously said: ‘This new house has been carefully designed so that it is similar in area and volume to what is currently on the site.
‘The new house will sit further back on the site and will create a much more functional family dwelling for our clients.
‘The existing house has been extended several times and is not functional, therefore a new house would be a better use of the site.’
