Another planning approval obtained for a project in Richmond.
This large period dwelling had a flat roof side extension.
The proposals involved
- raising the roof (eaves and ridge) of the side extension to match that of the main dwelling
- adding two large rear dormers
- adding a side dormer
- converting the loft space to create two new bedrooms, bathroom, study and storage areas
After pre-application consultations with the Planning Officer we submitted the application for two co-joined hipped roof dormers at the rear but the planning officer insisted that this would have been contrary to the council’s policy (even though we could have had this under permitted development! Eventually we revised the proposal to accord with the officer’s recommendations.
