Plans to build a “lorry-sized” granny annex in a countryside cottage have sparked a row among neighbours in a South Gloucestershire village. Several villagers opposed the plans due to the size of the proposed extension, which has now been given planning permission.
The plans include demolishing an outbuilding at Pound Cottage in Rockhampton and building the large granny annex. Representatives for the cottage owners said the extension would allow them to care for elderly relatives.
But neighbours objected to the size of the new extension, during a meeting of the development management committee at South Gloucestershire Council. However, the committee voted to approve planning permission on Thursday, June 22.
