The existing works that have been undertaken to the roof, comprising a hip to gable roof alteration and loft conversion including a rear dormer are not subject of this application. The Local Planning Authority is unable to confirm that these works are permitted development. If the applicant wishes to determine the legality of these works, it is advised that an application for a Lawful Development Certificate is made. Further guidance as to permitted development rights can be found on the Planning Portal (https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200187/your_responsibilities/37/planning_permission/2). Attention is also drawn to the fact that a first floor flank window appears to have been undertaken as part of the hip to gable roof conversion. The applicant is reminded that permitted development legislation requires that any window inserted on a wall or roof slope forming a side elevation of the dwellinghouse must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening, unless the parts of the window which can be opened are more than 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which the window is installed.
