Advice needed - kitchen and living layout w extension, mid-terrace
Comments (18)Been thinking about this one overnight:- ( i have a sad life! all say ahh ) You do not have to have a window to call it a habitable room, however, I believe there is a building control requirement for the room to be vented through another, check that out. So, in short, yes the bedroom could be moved and not have 'windows' . I don't know the arrangement of the wall top left that goes in to the garden area, but bear with me. ............ would it be better to have a separate Galley kitchen? I would prefer so. Is there a possibility of a window far top left? A stud wall only takes up 4" so not a great deal of space, plus it would make the lounge / diner look a lot nicer without seeing the kitchen on view permanently & of course you get a longer kitchen run. ( I think the proposed one is too small ). Plus you gain a wall to the lounge area, always handy for furniture placement, as this is what is lost in an open plan arrangement. I also changed the bathrooms round as previously suggested, and had the entrance in the hallway for the second one. Please bear in mind as a said before:- Not to scale - don't have dimensions as had to guess, but on the face of it, likely do'able. I like running plans through estate agents...........ones that I know well and trust as I know they'll give me their honest opinion on what would infinitely give a better price on re-sale. Contained living and dining with separate kitchens, good sized bedrooms etc. So do ask one. Estate agents are handy, they will want you to get more for the property because, if they smell a sale, they get more commission! Roughly where i was going with this after some sleep!Of course, if you still want to go open plan with the living / dining/ kitchen, then lose the top wall and maybe consider a door system to open and close for entertaining purposes - No doors, fully open plan .with doors!...See MoreTwo story extension between existing walls - Cost savings
Comments (6)Hello nirajn123 You're most likely going to need planning permission, especially if you are planning a two story extension. You would also need a party wall agreement with your neighbour. They are not that complicated, if done properly with a party wall surveyor. We have a to of experience with such properties so please get in touch. If you have an estate agent type plan of you house you could share I could quickly have a look. Also you can check online to see if any of your neighbours have done a similar extension....See MoreTwo Story Extension Design..... Will it fit?
Comments (4)Hello, First things first.... Is the area that you live in designated land. This can usually be found online at the local authority probably under the planning heading. if not designated land then the next consideration is Permitted Development. Contact the planning department at the local authority and ask if the permitted development rights have been removed from your property. If the PD rights have not been removed then you are allowed to build up to and or over the boundary at ground floor level on the side. Take a look at this government website for further information on PD rights. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200187/your_responsibilities/37/planning_permission/2 I can't see from the photographs if you have access on both sides or rear access to the back garden. Its probably best not to cut off side access to the rear garden. A party wall notice served on your neighbours will enable you to position your new external cavity wall across the boundary. You can find this information here https://www.gov.uk/party-walls-building-works If the PD rights have been removed, which is common on newer properties, then you will require a householder planning application to ask for permission from the council. Hope this helps. Kind regards Andrew...See MoreAdvice please! Mid-terrace wraparound extension open / broken plan
