26/05558/CLP - Certificate of Proposed Lawful Use Current

Proposal

Certificate of Proposed Lawful Development for conversion of the existing integral garage to an additional habitable room ancillary to the existing single dwellinghouse. The existing roller-shutter garage-door opening and external uPVC side-door opening will be infilled with insulated cavity brickwork, finished in facing bricks to match the existing dwellinghouse. No enlargement of the building is proposed. Internally, the existing concrete floor will be levelled and upgraded with a damp-proof membrane, 100 mm PIR insulation, tongue-and-groove boarding and final floor finish. The garage will remain part of, and be accessed and used in association with, the existing single dwellinghouse; it will not form a separate dwelling or self-contained unit. Data via plota.co.uk
