Planning application

22 Hawkesbury Drive Calcot Reading RG31 7ZP

Refused West Berkshire 26/00738/CERTP Certificate of Lawfulness (Proposed)

Works: Extension Windows or glazing

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

We will brick in our current sliding patio doors and replace it with an exterior rated single swing door. Against that single swing door, we plan to build a small extension (mud room) onto the back of our property with dimensions of 2m by 2.4m. It will have a pitched roof, a window, a skylight and a single swing door. It will be single skin and will match the current style of the property. We will also remove one interior wall to open our kitchen into a kitchen-diner.
