Hip to gable roof extensions

Recommended Posts

In the majority of situations, a pair of semi-detached houses with hipped roofs have their ridges running from side to side. In taking their hip ends, converting them to gables with a rear (flat roof) dormer is the "norm". However, when you have a house with a ridge running front to back, what can you do via a hip to gable via PD? I have been involved in a few and have always secured CoL approval by carrying out the hip to gable to the rear and dormer windows on each side. This therefore maintains the ridge line. However, can you convert hips to gables but those new gable ends are formed with flat roofs, which would therefore enable a dormer to be positioned to the rear? Attached will help explain.
