16/00793/FUL

Demolition of front and rear existing extensions at basement and ground
levels and the excavation of a basement rear extension with two
rooflights and a basement level rear patio including external staircase
involving the relocation of front entrance of basement level together
with a ground floor rear extension with Juliet balcony and a
fenestration and alteration of a window on the rear inner elevation and
at the front elevation basement level.

This sounds a lot but the reality is lowering the existing full basement
to gain some height and excavating out down the garden to make further
accommodation and sunken patios. Would be lost behind fences from the
neighbours’ aspect, although they would have to suffer the works, party
wall matters etc. The present ground floor becomes bedrooms with the
existing first floor and the living rooms move to this lower floor. An
expensive excavation project to achieve a four or five-bedroom house
with a variety of living spaces.
