Hello, I'm a new member on here, but have keenly read lots of advice in the past.
I have some questions concerning planning permission for a prospective property we may/might like to buy, a semi-detatched single story bungalow.
Here's the situation...It's driveway runs alongside from front to back, as does the neighbours property.
At the front of each adjacent bungalow is the kitchen with one high side window, then next back is the bathroom with a frosted glass window, followed by the main door entrance (on the side).
At the point of the main door, the fence inbetween properties runs to a height of 6 feet from that point all the way back.
Thereafter, no more side windows.
If we purchased the property, we would look to change the internal layout and have a third bedroom just beyond the main side door and as the property concerned has been extended at the back (not flat roof, but full roof) AND ideally a further side window on the back extention on the side.
This would mean two further windows along the side/driveway, essentially overlooking a 6 foot fence and facing toward a neighbours brick wall (no windows to overlook).
My questions are:
- does this sound like a plausible possibility to obtain permission for windows?
- appreciate sometimes frosted glass is required on certain occasions, but ideally would prefer clear glass windows...anyone happen to know whether based on the above clear glass would likely cause problems?
- does size matter ? What I mean is will small windows be more likely to be given the go ahead than large windows?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
