Single-storey rear extension proposed for a home in Buckley

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant proposes a single-storey extension at the rear of the house at 1 Overleigh Drive, Buckley. The extension would add extra living space at ground floor level only. The site sits on a residential street with several bus stops close by, and Argoed High School is a few minutes' walk away. The closest neighbouring homes are right next door to the proposed extension. The land here has a high radon risk rating, one of the highest categories used in the UK. This means the builders may need extra safety measures, such as a special barrier, to stop radon gas building up inside the new room. The ground also has some shrink-swell clay, which can affect how deep or strong new foundations need to be.
