Date of Notice: 16th March 2017

This application for Exempted Development is based on Section 4.1(h) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 being development consisting of the carrying out of works for the maintenance, improvement or other alteration of any structure, which do not materially affect the external appearance of the structure so as to render the appearance inconsistent with the character of the structure or of neighbouring structures; we would respectfully suggest that these proposed works will make the windows more consistent with the character of the structure and of its neighbours.

2. Renovate existing outbuildings/ shed for usage as games/ exercise room.

Would this be considered to be development or exempted developments?

Roof Repairs: The existing double pitch roof over the main body of the house appears to be leaking in a number of locations. It is proposed to reline the lead valleys throughout to prevent any further leaks. There may be slates missing or damaged which will be replaced with a natural (non-reclaimed) slate in a matching colour. Existing ridge tiles may need to be removed and refitted with new mortar pointing to ensure the roof remains weather tight.

Electrical Systems: The house is to be wired for a new electrical system. All newly fitted electrical switches and sockets will have a simple flat (non decorative) brushed chrome finish. These quality finishes will not detract from the special quality of the building while providing the home with a necessary electrical upgrade.

Heating System: it is proposed to install a new central heating system. The boiler system will be a gas fired condensing boiler positioned in the utility room of a new extension to the rear of the dwelling. We are currently preparing an application for the rear extension to be lodged separately. The heating system will be plumbed for concealed floor radiators throughout. The concealed radiators have a simple brushed chrome floor grill that allows the heat to radiate up. As with the electrical installations the new heating system will be a subtle non-decorative approach to providing central heating throughout. Hot water will be provided from the gas fired boiler with an additional solar panel back up. It is proposed to position the solar panels between the valley of the double pitched main roof. The panels would be surface mounted to the plane of the slate roof and not be seen from the front or rear gardens.

Window Upgrade: The existing windows will be retained throughout, with the exception of planned alterations to be covered in the planning application. We propose removing the existing glazing from the windows sashes, and replace it with a narrow double glazed window pane. The double glazed unit is specifically for retrofitting into period windows. All of the original frames, sashes, shutters and running gear will be retained and repaired.

Repairs & Maintenance: The house has suffered from a lack of maintenance for a considerable period of time. It is the new owners intention to restore the building to its original condition, and finish it as sympathetically as possible. Walls and ceilings will be stripped of paper finishes, heavily painted cornice details will be cleaned and restored to their original condition. The thick build up of paint on doors, skirting and architraves will be sanded back to expose the original details throughout. It is likely that during the course of the works that loose blown plasterwork may come away from the walls of possibly ceilings where the keys and laths have become damaged. Where this occurs the walls and ceilings will be restored and re-plastered to match the original. All cornices and plaster details will be retained and protected.

Repairs to and rebuilding of the rear of the existing modern conservatory at first floor level;

Repairs to and rebuilding of the rear elevation and roof of the existing modern extension at ground floor.
