The plans also state the potential demolition of the concrete out-house removing all vegetation and non-original fixtures and fittings whilst replacing rotten and damaged timbers.

There will also be treatment of all timbers for fungal and insect infestation to coincide with the addition of insulation to the attic floor and a new attic hatch.  

The proposed extension will contain new bathrooms, a utility room, new en-suite and wardrobe in the master bedroom and a new kitchen which will be assisted by new joinery, plumbing and electrics throughout the property.
