MAIN ISSUES |
|
5.1 |
Impact on the significance of the Listed Building The proposed rooflight would be inserted into the north elevation of the main roof to serve the small bedroom at the eastern end of the dwelling, to provide natural light and ventilation. The proposed rooflight would be a conservation style centre pivot roof window with a single glazing bar and would match the existing rooflights. All making good works would be completed in materials to match the existing.
|
|
5.2 |
The Conservation Officer has no objection to the addition of one further rooflight. It is considered that the additional rooflight would not result in any harm to the historic character of the listed building. Therefore, the proposed works are considered to be sympathetic to the special historic and architectural interest of the building and would preserve its special interest and significance.
|
|
6.0 |
