Planning permission is being sought for (i) the demolition of an existing single story extension to the rear of the building. (ii) and the construction of a two storey extension to the rear of the dwelling, the conversion of the attic space to include a dormer window and raising the existing ridgeline by 250mm and incorporating 2no. velux type roof lights to the front elevation, and all associated site works.
