Extensions

how much money would a two storey extension roughly 2.5 x 5m bring to the local economy?

I have recently had planning permission refused and I wish to appeal. One of the failings of the original decision is disregard for the current financial climate and the impact it has on local tradesmen and suppliers. Do you have any comments on the importance such extensions bring to your business and the money they help you generate? Is the present financial condition an important factor and do you feel your company/trade can survive without these projects being approved? I'm currently putting together an appeal and trying to put forward a comprehensive argument. There are areas of planning guidelines that stipulate that benefits to the local economy should be considered...the main grievance of the council is that of reduced light into a neighbouring property even though the title deeds of the property states they have no rights to light or air! I would presume title deeds have more weight than council planning policy however the council planning officer has already said he is unable to consider title deeds. In response to the first submitted answer no not for those reasons, however no mention of any negative economic effect was made in the original planning refusal. Refused mainly on the grounds of someone else's kitchen window.
