DC/26/01651 - Non Material Amendment Approved

Proposal

Application for a Non-Material Amendment relating to - The proposed amendment results in a minor increase to the external footprint of the building, to accommodate a slightly thicker wall construction and wider plant room. The wall build-up has been amended from PIR insulation to Rockwool insulation, a more sustainable alternative, which resulted in a small increase in wall thickness with no material change to the building's appearance. The increase in plant room width is to facilitate the installation of a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit. With the slight footprint increase, this has also increased the ridge height marginally. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Public footpath about 13 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Elmsett built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
