Yes - I'm sorry to say that the design of Wee House just will not stand the modifications that have been suggested for the roof. It results in an ugly looking house with insufficient room on the upper floor. So, after considering the negative comments from the parish council, and thinking about timescales, we've decided to go for a slight modification of the plan already approved by Mid Beds Council.
The approved design was for a single storey house which occupied a central position on the plot. The layout was not at all to out liking, but at this stage, its the basic outline and elevations that the council are interested in. So, we've shrunk the size to about 75% of the original, and turned it through 90 degrees on the plot so its parallel to, and about 4 metres from, the garage. We've also radically altered the layout to create what we think is a much more useable arrangement. As so was born Wee House II!
As this looks exactly like the approved plan we're hoping that we can get this through as a simple amendment to the original. The other advantage is that if we can get it through, we may not have to pay the dreaded 106 section charge as the approval was given before the 106 was implemented. We'll see what is said by the planning officer on Monday. Fingers crossed.
