Thanks so much Ferdinand for your advice !

Seeking advice on next steps in extending a family bungalow currently occupied by a housebound relative. We need to provide full-time care and want to extend the current bungalow so we can move in (see photos). The land to the side offers the possibility of a one storey extension and having spoken to our local planning department, there are no permitted development restrictions. We require a minimum one bedroom space with own kitchen and bathroom (happy with open plan) and would live separately but adjoining to the original bungalow. The Council said we could possibly extend further out to the front within reason. The attic is too shallow to consider converting to a dormer bungalow. Are there any other design possibilities aside from adding to the side and extending further forward to the original ? We are obviously looking to maximise space and given the odd shape available, I wonder if there are other options we’ve not considered ?
