Proposal
Application to determine if prior approval is required for a proposed: Larger Home Extension: The application property is an end-of-terrace dwelling dating from approximately the 1930s, with no previous extensions. The proposed rear extension would be finished in matching brickwork with a flat rubber roof, maintaining a modest roof height and limiting impact on neighbouring occupiers. The eaves would be 2.97m above ground level, with a maximum height of 3.12m at the skylights, which would be over 2m from any boundary. The windows would match the existing fenestration. The extension would project 4.55m from the rear elevation and include a rear window and French doors, with no side-facing windows. A 30cm maintenance gap would be retained to the adjoining terrace, allowing the existing boundary fence to remain. A separation of approximately 2.66m would be maintained to the detached side boundary. The extension would replace the existing metal-roof lean-to and shed, and the decking would be replaced as shown on the submitted drawings.

8 Sunhill Cottages Bath Road Woolhampton Reading RG7 5RP
Application for a Lawful Development Certificate for a Proposed Use or Development: The proposal is for a dormer roof extension and a small change to a rear first-floor window. The property will remain a house, and the work will not change the building footprint or the ground floor. The rear first-floor window will be made taller by about 34 cm, while keeping the same width and overall alignment with the other windows. The existing staircase to the loft will be moved above the main staircase. The dormer will create a usable loft bedroom with storage, heating, electricity, insulation, and structural improvements. The roof appearance from the highway will largely stay the same, with two rooflights added. The dormer will use materials to match the existing roof, stay below the ridge line, be set back 600 mm from the eaves, and add about 20 m³ of roof volume
