Proposed alterations to the Ground Floor layout include the widening of the property by 1.1m at ground floor level with the proposed extension being covered by a lean-to roof. This will allow for the creation of a new downstairs WC in the hall area adjacent to the stairs and also for the widening of the kitchen. A new covered and enclosed connecting link is to be created joining the existing garage to the house. It is proposed that the garage then be converted into a space for a study and utility room. While this single-storey structure is to remain unchanged externally apart from the sealing up of a side doorway at the far end, it is understood that in order for the garage to become a habitable space, it will be necessary to carry out work to the structure to ensure that it complies with current Building Regulations, particularly concerning thermal performance and fire. This will form a separate application at a later date.
At First Floor level, the existing bathroom to the rear of the property is being extended out over the kitchen below. The existing third bedroom at the front of the property is now to become an ensuite shower room for the master bedroom with the existing doorway sealed up. A new flight of stairs is then to be constructed directly over those up from the ground floor, allowing access to the loft space.
A further two new bedrooms are to be created in the loft space. Light will be admitted to the rear bedroom via a flat-roofed dormer and to the front room via a Velux rooflight located in the roof. In order to create sufficient headroom above the new flight of stairs, a pitched-roof dormer has been added to the roof at the side of the property. Windows in the dormer will allow adequate light into the stair space.

Mr Coleman was recommended to us by several previous clients of his and he has undertaken a thorough survey and review of our requirements and been completely professional but friendly throughout. Our application was for a ground floor extension with a roof extension also. Given the odd shape of our house and its location Mr Coleman managed to find a workable solution to not only meet our own requirements but also those potentially required of the local planning authority. He provided several options in his initial drawings and he completed as well as filed our application with the minimum of input from us. I have since recommended him to a number of friend and would continue to do so.” |
