The proposal was also to turn this typical mid century bungalow into a contemporary dwelling fit for todays needs and this included achieving space at first floor level. As can be seen from the above floor plan extract, whilst the front extension was modest the rear extension was much larger and designed with interesting angles and elements of flat roof and mono pitch roof to make the best of the southern aspect over the good sized garden. There was resistance from the planning officers but we were delighted when they were eventually won round and granted planning permission.
