Description

The amalgamation of two adjacent self-contained duplex flats (Flats 36 and 37) within a purpose-built residential building to form a single family dwelling (Use Class C3). The works comprise internal reconfiguration to connect the two units at first floor level, with a secondary connection at ground floor level (subject to detailed design), creating a single dwelling across two levels. The development will rationalise the existing layouts, removing inefficient subdivision to provide a 3+ bedroom family home with improved circulation and living standards. No external alterations are proposed. Existing entrances will be retained, and the works are limited to internal modifications within the building. Data via plota.co.uk
