Proposed development
The proposal includes 3 elements: 1. Retention of existing single-storey, ground floor, extension on the front (roadside) elevation of the cottage (outlined blue on drawings): a. The extension is a mixed concrete and block wall construction with a single-pitch roof comprising timber rafters, battens and slates. A portion of this extension was built prior to the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963. The area of the extension which was deemed to be constructed sometime after the introduction of the planning legislation comprised 6.2m2 of gross floor area and is outlined in orange on the drawings submitted with this application. 2. Removal of leaking small flat roof and recover by extending adjacent new pitched roof (outlined green on drawings): a. The flat roof is approx. 2.5m x 3.5m and is not visible from the public road due to outbuildings on front. b. Existing adjacent pitched slate roof is being recovered with a standing seam system, matching the existing slate colour, suitable for the 15 deg pitch which will be maintained. The current slates are in need of replacement, and the pitch is not suitable for slates. This treatment will be extended to cover the removed flat roof area. c. The proposed replacement roof works, in my opinion, would not materially affect the external appearance of the structures in question so as to render its appearance inconsistent with the character of the structure itself or of the neighbouring structures as per the provisions of Section 4(1)(h) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, i.e. would meet the threshold for exempted development. 3. Construct a ground floor extension to the rear of the property (outlined green on drawings): a. The extension will serve as a small bathroom, with waste piped to the existing septic tank system. The extension is ground floor only and the total ground footprint area is 6.1m2. Internal floor area is 4.5m2. b. In my opinion, this extension is in accordance with the conditions and limitations prescribed in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class 1 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, i.e. would meet the threshold for exempted development.
