Summary
The owner wants to extend the existing dormer windows on the first floor of their semi-detached house. Dormers are the box-shaped windows that stick out from a sloping roof. Making them larger usually adds usable space in an upstairs room. The house is a semi-detached home built in the late 1970s on Kestrel Close, Caldicot. Around five nearby homes have a clear view of the site. The primary school is right next door — about a one-minute walk away — and Caldicot School is a few minutes' walk. Because this is a small change to an existing roof feature, the impact on neighbours is expected to be limited.
