PLANNERS have given the thumbs-up for an extension to a semi-detached home in a Cwmbran cul-de-sac. 

Applicant Luke Davies intends adding a two-storey extension to the north side of his three-bedroom home in The Pastures, Llanyravon and a single storey extension at the back. 

An existing garage will be demolished with two off-road parking spaces created in the front garden and the house extended to five bedrooms. 

Planners who considered the impact of the extensions on the neighbouring property and street scene agreed it could be approved.
