Council sourceThe extensions are two separate parts, one element shown as breakfast room on the enclosed plans extends back by 6.3 metres. The second element shown as kitchen and family room is staggered and extends back 8 metres from the existing building, which is in itself staggered on the rear elevation. The kitchen and family room has been limited in width to less than half the width of the existing building, so complies with the requirements of Part A1 (j). There is a gap between the two extensions, which are separate elements.
