Council planning record

The proposed works involve constructing a double-storey side extension to the existing semi-detached home. The extension will be situated 1 meter below the current home from floor to roof height and set back by 3.2 meters, making it out of view. The ground floor will feature a large open-plan kitchen, while the first floor will add bedrooms and bathrooms. A small remodel of the existing structure will ensure seamless integration. Sustainable practices and materials will be employed where possible to enhance energy efficiency.
