Hi, Sorry - it is pretty rubbish! I hope this is a little better. The measurements are internal measurements. I have also attached two photos: one of the roof line and the other of the side where we hope to extend by removing the old garage. I have been told that the roof is too shallow plus we are in the South Downs National Park in a road of bungalows, so we may not be able to go up in any case. We will be rendering the property at the end! We have a budget of £60,000. Many thanks!

Concerns about tree roots could be from the neighbours or due to a TPO. We’ve been through this recently and have designed our extension to avoid the entire tree protection area (based on an arboricultural report-a requirement for us even to apply for planning). Despite that we have planning conditions on storage of building supplies (not near any trees), not being able to change ground levels (eg around patio areas) and being required to dig manually, not use diggers for fear of damage to roots. An arboricultural consultant should be able to advise on where and how you can build in relation to the tree, and then you would need the Council to accept the consultant's opinion. I assume the vendors must have had an opinion to plot the protection area? Also my understanding is that TPO legislation overrides permitted development legislation. As we've several TPOs, we’ve got to know the local council tree officers, but it’s the best approach as there can be heavy fines if you get it wrong.

Just wondering, if we went back to the picture with the original design with a bedroom, bathroom and study area in the loft. Options one is bathroom under the eaves. The architect has suggested running the soil pipe down the outside of the building which I think a) would look ugly and b) would need extensive and expensive groundworks to join to main drains. I wound have thought running under the floorboards to join existing soil pipe behind the loo in the bathroom would make more sense? Option two is moving bathroom to the back by the window, into the study area. I was initially against this as it seemed to make more sense to enjoy the view with a bedroom/ study but I’m now wondering if this is actually the most sensible? If so I’m wondering about the layout for the dressing area/ reading nook/study area and if anyone has any good ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!
