Flat Roof Extension Compliance With Planning Policy.<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.1 Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our planning proposal involves the roof reconfiguration from a double-pitched to flat roof on the extension of the commercial building.<\/span><\/p>\n

The picture below provides an aerial view of the entire building, including the double-roofed extension.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Figure 1.1<\/span><\/strong> We can see the two double-pitched roofs of the extension. Our proposal is to alter the extension to place a flat roof at the height of the existing roof ridges. Therefore, the top height of the extension will remain the same. Note that the main building’s top ridge height is a comparable height to the existing houses surrounding it. Because of this, the main building (which is higher than the extension) is not visible from the main roads. The height of the top ridges of the extension is one storey lower than the main building. Therefore, the extension is even less likely to be seen from any main road. The building as a whole is concealed by the surrounding houses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Figure: 1.1.3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Below is the side extension with a flat roof. The height is in line with the current roof’s ridge height. The building as a whole is hidden from full view of Harold Street and the main roads. The extension is particularly hidden due to its lower height than the surrounding buildings. The design is perfectly in line and blends in with the existing building and the character of the area. Virtually, even if it is not easily visible, the proposed design is much more pleasing than the present design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 1.2<\/strong> This CGI was made as part of our compliance studies to determine whether different alterations and solutions would cause loss of light. This image is referred to here to show how the height of the modified extension (being the same as the existing extension top height) is lower than ALL the surrounding buildings. Its view is completely concealed from all main roads. It is only possible to view part of it from the private car park and playground. The view of this extension from Harold Street is mainly concealed.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

1.2 Windows<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are existing windows on both sides of the extension overlooking both the backyards of the properties in Castle Street and Harold Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

The privacy concerns in connection with any windows facing any of these properties have been extensively studied, and it is clear that no rights are infringed on by any of these properties, even if there were no existing windows and entrance doors in place on both sides of the extension. As we have examined extensively, no right would be infringed even if these windows did not previously exist.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pre-existence of windows on both sides of the extension eliminates completely any possibility of objecting to any additional windows on the upper levels.<\/span><\/p>\n
