Description

This application proposes three front facing dormer roof windows with pitched roofs. Also being applied for are two gable end windows. Dormer windows - This application follows the refusal of planning application reference 1522/23 for two roof dormer windows. The reason for refusal was due to the size of the roof dormers leading to a design which was considered disproportionate in size to the front roofscape located within a prominent space within the street scene. The size of the dormers were; Width (1.5m), Height (1.86m) and Depth (2.9m). It should be noted that the two roof dormers as well as being considered oversized did not relate visually in a vertical context to the first floor windows. This application proposes three smaller roof dormer windows. Three are proposed to improve the design by relating to the three existing first floor windows. The size of each dormer is Width (1.4m), Height (1.6m) and Depth (2.5m). The cumulative dimension reduction along with their positioning makes a significant difference to their overall appearance and prominence. Gable end windows - This application also proposes gable end windows. These windows serve a stair landing and ensuite bathroom. The windows will be fitted with obscure glass and be non opening. The windows will permit natural light into the building and thereby reduce the reliance on electricity.
