Home extensions dominate planning lists across three Bristol-area councils

Applications published this week by Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils all involve expanding or altering existing homes rather than building new ones.

Planning lists published across the wider Bristol area this week share a common thread: all four applications involve extending or reworking existing homes rather than erecting new ones. North Somerset Council recorded a larger scheme at 22 Rock Road in Yatton, combining a two-storey rear extension, garage conversion and roof replacement [2]. South Gloucestershire Council's list includes two home alterations: a loft conversion with a hip to gable roof extension and two rear dormers at The Den, 307 Passage Road, Almondsbury [3], and a condition discharge covering a new rear garden area, terraced area, minor cellar extension and car parking reconfiguration at The Griffin, 107 London Road, Warmley [4]. Taken together, the lists point to renovation and extension work as the dominant type of planning activity this week across the three neighbouring authorities.
