Search the Public Notice PortalPlans to split a home's plot and build a second "identical" house have gone to appeal after being rejected.
Three Rivers District Council refused permission for the new building in Chenies Road, Chorleywood, in March because it decided the size and location would be “visually prominent and overbearing” in a way that would be detrimental to neighbours.
It was also judged to detract from the Chorleywood Common conservation area.
The applicant has since launched an appeal, for which all relevant documents must be submitted by the end of this month ahead of a decision from the Planning Inspectorate.
Its planning application would have involved the sub-division of an existing home’s large plot so that part of its garden, at the side of the building, could become the site of a new two-storey home with a basement level and its own parking.
Documents describe the proposed four-bedroom Georgian-style house’s design as “identical” to the house already on the plot.

Application documents added: “The proposed new property represents limited infilling within a village. It cannot be seen from a public street and does not result in any light loss to neighbouring properties.
“The proposed property is of Georgian design, complementing similar houses in the vicinity, is well screened within existing trees, hedges and fencing and has significant distances to the boundaries.”
No decision date has been given by the Planning Inspectorate.
