Pretty sure you will find that doubling the size of the house (if as you say it is increasing by 50%) will not be looked upon favourably by the planners although percentages do vary from council to council and the planning officer will take into account valid concerns.

Increasing by 50% is not doubling the size, that'd be 100%.

They're increasing the size by half of what's already there

For what it's worth I think that as they have been up front with you you could let them know your concerns before sending off the objections - it might establish a bit of give and take and result in a solution you are all happy with.

Yes we will let them know before we give the letter in to the planners.
