Development description
We, the applicants, intend to apply for: planning permission for development on site: 24 kenilworth lane west, rathgar, d6. The development will consist/consists of: a two-storey timber frame structure extension to existing dwelling and fronts onto kenilworth lane west. The treatment of the external wall surface will be timber clad to harmonise with existing brick gable of the house using durable timber. The design of the extension will achieve 'passive house' energy performance standards. This includes a 60% pitched roof to accommodate an extra-large array of solar collectors on its south facing slope (both pv & thermal water heating panels), with a loft space to house solar plant, large buffer tank, heat recovery-ventilation-system and an air-to-water heat pump fitted on its rear flat roof. The extension consists of snug living room and bathroom on first floor and accommodates an option of a porch and small foyer/sun-room at ground level. Due to the limited size of the site the proposal makes best use of an open courtyard. This will be well landscaped and create a pleasant micro climate.
