Awaiting decision City of Edinburgh 25/01245/VARY Variation of Consent

Works: Extension Loft or dormer Windows or glazing

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Non Material Variation - Energy performance improvements leading to proposed minor alterations. 1. Dormer and wall (cheek and hip) insulation increase, and removal of 2 x conservation roof lights to substantially improve loft energy performance. 2. Small conservatory and side extension glazing increase, offset against higher glazing and envelope insulation specification, to reduce artificial lighting load, and improve solar and thermal performance.
