PLANS to build an extension at 1 Messack Close in Falmouth to include front and rear dormer windows received a mixed reaction from town councillors this week.
While members had no problem with the rear dormer, they did not like the front dormer, claiming it was “ugly” and would alter the street scene and set a precedent.
Councillor Steve Eva said: “I do object to this. Knowing Messack Close, if you start putting a dormer on the front of the bungalow on that road it would be out of keeping.”
The planning committee has recommended refusal of the application, indicating it would prefer to see a Velux window on the front. The final decision lies with Cornwall Council.
