Permission for the removal of existing rear first floor dormer and part of existing rear ground floor flat roof and the construction of a new first floor dormer to include a new ensuite bedroom and a bathroom, new rear flat roof to ground floor extension with new rear elevation, conversion of garage space to home office and utility room with alterations to garage front elevation, internal alterations, widening of vehicular entrance to include new entrance gates and widened driveway and all associated siteworks.
