Planning policy makes clear that local authorities should support upward extensions where the development would be consistent with the prevailing height and form, well designed (including complying with any local design policies and standards), and can maintain safe access and egress for occupiers.<\/p>

Gentleman\u2019s oral question on Monday 28 October 2024 (Official Report HC, Volume 755, Column 524<\/a>), I will reflect further on the specific concern he has raised.<\/p>"}
