The proposed scheme maintains the outline of the existing house when viewed from the road to minimise its impact on the character of the surrounding area.

A rear, large, single-storey extension with a split level floor plan and terracing creates an open plan family kitchen/dining/living area and helps settle the house into the landscape. A wide glazed pivot door and bifold windows maximise natural light, ventilation, views and connection with the back garden.

Re-modelled pitched roofs with the addition of rear dormers and rooflights create additional floor area with a bedroom, shower room, dressing area and home offices.
