Onoff Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Well the architect has come back with his fee for surveying, preparing planning drawings along with his input & assistance as it's AONB etc. The fact the place is badly insulated, the roof in a poor state of repair etc can play into it. That along with the fact you have to cross one bedroom to reach another is apparently a health and safety issue. He reckons what we want are minor alterations but our LA is notoriously funny. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While having to pass through one bedroom to get to another is not something I want because the occupants of the intermediate bedroom lack any privacy, it is most certainly NOT a "health and safety issue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a fire in the bedroom with the access to the stairs then trying to traverse that from the other bedroom could be an issue. I'm guessing of course. If the guy reckons it's a possible lever to pp I'll use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilly Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 No offence, but I’m not sure the aesthetics of the dormers will pass muster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDamo Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Only if the proposed GIA is 100sq.m or more. If it was, you can look to claim exemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 1 hour ago, DevilDamo said: Gross Internal Area. The increase in floor area is I reckon, approx 30m2 by bringing the dormers out front and rear. Doesn't sound a lot but will massively improve the "liveability" of upstairs. That plus an increase in loft space volume going from hip to gable ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
