New Loft Conversion and Rear Extensions

Headington, Oxford

The clients already had a number of outbuildings and sheds, and the intention here was to create an extension that would utilise the space as an office and utility, whilst extending 3m at the rear to form a dining and living space for the their growing family. The initial application was resisted by the local authority, so a strategic approach using the client’s permitted development rights for a rear extension and outbuilding was undertaken and approved. The next stage was to amend materials and show that the permitted additions could be linked without there being any material impact on neighbours.The final stage will be to apply for appropriate loft dormers (required as the scheme is in a Conservation Area) and amend the rear projection roof pitch. Protracted, but productive.
