Description

Non-material amendment to planning permission PA/2024/1662 for "Proposed two-storey rear extension following demolition of the existing conservatory. Widening of access, conversion of annexe into garage and store, replacement dormer to rear elevation, changes to fenestration and associated landscaping works." to allow changes to reduce the ground floor extension, reduce the first‑floor footprint. Changes to fenestration, including repositioning of the dormer window, removal of the clerestory element and reinstatement of the bay window. Removal of the first‑floor timber ventilation elements. Reintroduction of solar panels to the eastern roof slope. Omission of the sedum roof finish and replacement with a decorative stone finish. In addition, the previously proposed conversion of the annexe to a garage has been withdrawn. The annexe will therefore be retained in its existing form.
