Development description
- Expp: the proposed works will consist of
- Replacement of existing roof. Removal of the existing rotted timber flat roof over the existing single-storey rear extension and replacement with a new timber roof structure incorporating a slight fall and appropriate weatherproof membrane. As part of these works, the surrounding parapet will be adjusted to achieve an appropriate and compliant parapet height for safety and maintenance access purposes associated with the proposed roof construction. Importantly, the parapet height will not exceed the existing ridge or wall heights of the building, and the works do not increase the height, footprint, or overall scale of the structure. The roof replacement represents the repair and replacement of deteriorated building fabric and in undertaken s part of the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the building. For clarity, the roof will not function as an accessible roof terrace or amenity space
- Installation and construction of rear entrance canopy to existing private open space. Installation of a timber framed glazed canopy over the rear entrance. The canopy provides weather protection and privacy from the overlooking neighbouring properties and represents a minor ancillary structure associated with the existing building
- Restoration of the north-east corner of the building footprint. Restoration of the north-east corner of the building footprint at first-floor level. This area currently exists as a semi-outdoor concealed private space. The works plan to reinstate the north-east corner of the building footprint identified in historic mapping for the site. The area involved is less than 14m2 and there is no increase to the internal footprint of the building. The reinstatement may also provide potential means of escape from the rental unit above
