Development description
The development will consist of the proposed change of use of the existing three-storey end-of-terrace house from community use to single dwelling residential use, as well as works comprising the demolition of existing single and two-storey returns to the side and rear, and the construction of a new double-height entrance porch to the side (6.5 sq. M) and new single storey extension to the rear (28.5 sq. M). It is also proposed to relocate the existing vehicular entrance, which requires the removal of a public on-street parking space, and to provide a new pedestrian entrance gate. Additional proposed works include internal reconfigurations, replacement of the existing roof finish to the front bay window with slate, reconfiguration of window opes at second floor level, re-rendering of the wall of the upper gable, replacement of the existing windows with double-glazed sash windows to match existing, the addition of rooflights to the main roof, general energy upgrades, a new surface water soak pit, and all associated site works.
