Although this is a reduction of area of the previous application we are concerned that the proposals still represents a 100% increasing in floor area over the original dwelling and therefore contravenes the local plan policy DC19 (3) and consequently should be refused. In addition it is considered that the Kentish ragstone cladding is inappropriate in this area.
