A previous planning application granted in 2021 (ref: PA21/08767) provided permission for a single storey extension which has since lapsed. The associated works would have increased the overall floorspace of the property by double and therefore, may still be possible, subject to re-submission of plans to Cornwall Council Planning Dept.
