Size isn't everything!
Sometimes the modest extensions on smaller properties make the most impact on living conditions.
This is a recently completed single storey rear extension on a semi-detached bungalow which enlarged the small kitchen as well as adding a utility area and wc.
A flat roof with perimeter pitch was used in order to match the existing eaves height and allow a Certificate Of Lawfulness application to confirm Permitted Development.
A standard flat roof, higher than the eaves of the bungalow, would need a more expensive Householder Planning Application as well as costly bat surveys to satisfy Wokingham Borough Council.
The client is delighted with the result and spends much more time enjoying the kitchen now.
