Single-storey extension and dormer roof proposed for detached bungalow in Wye Valley

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of a detached bungalow on Park Glade, Tintern, wants to extend the ground floor to create a larger kitchen and improve the living spaces. They also want to add a dormer to the roof to make the bedrooms bigger. The applicant says the work would also improve how well the home keeps in heat. The property is a detached bungalow built in the late 1960s or early 1970s, sitting in the Wye Valley — a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. There are about 41 other buildings within a couple of minutes' walk, and the Cat Brook runs right next to the site. The site sits in an area with a moderate radon risk, and the ground has some shrink-swell hazard. Because the property is in the Wye Valley protected landscape, the council may look carefully at how the dormer and extension fit with the look and feel of the area.
