Proposal

Internal alterations including the following: Move the existing kitchen from the lower ground floor to the upper ground floor rear room. Reinstate the original, preserved timber double doors in the opening between the front and rear lower ground floor rooms, to create a separate bedroom and living room. Reconstruct the non-original lower ground floor stair to make it steeper – more similar to the original stair. Replace a non-original rear extension with a similar, but more thermally efficient replacement. Create a new lower ground floor bathroom in place of the existing external lower ground floor utility room (underneath the non-original rear extension). Remove the existing sanitaryware and the modern enclosure in front of the chimney breast in the first floor rear room to create a bedroom. Convert the second floor rear room to become a bathroom. External alterations include the following: Replace the existing non-original lower ground floor rear garden door with new glazed French doors. Renovate the existing basement front lightwell glazed door and window under the entrance steps - replace the existing modern single glazing with slimline double glazing. Renovate the second floor front windows - retain the windows, but replace the existing non-original panes with vacuum glass. Dress the front entrance steps asphalt with bullnosed Yorkstone and associated rear garden work. P2026/1589/LBC also submitted… Data via plota.co.uk
