A HOUSE described as gone mad and a monster has been allowed to be extended. City councillors on the planning committee disliked the scheme but said there were no planning grounds to reject it. Dean Churcher applied to put a 3.5m first floor extension on Long Ash on Pitcot Lane, Owslebury. Members of the city council planning committee expressed concern about the way the house was growing. Cllr Mike Read said: This is a property that seems to have just gone mad. Cllr Russell Gordon-Smith said: It s a bit of a monster, isn t it? But I don t know on what grounds you can refuse it. The overlooking is not going to be any worse than at the moment.
