Hip to gable roof conversion with rear dormer and two front rooflights proposed at Wembley bungalow

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner has applied to check whether planned roof works are lawful without needing a full planning application. The works would change one end of the roof from a sloped hip shape to a flat gable end, add a large dormer window at the rear, and fit two small roof windows at the front.

The property is a 1930s detached bungalow on Beaumont Avenue in Wembley. Sudbury and Harrow Road station is a couple of minutes' walk away. Vale Farm Sports Centre is also nearby.

Whether this type of work normally needs permission depends on whether the property is in a historic part of town. This is unconfirmed. If it is, some of these works may require a full planning application instead.
