This rear extension to a locally listed lodge marks the entrance to a former grand estate.  The previous rear extension was unsympathetic in terms of materials, form and how it connected with the original building.  The new extension uses sympathetic stone cladding and buff quoins, a simple subservient form and respectful detailing to provide a new living space.  The original house lacked useable floor space due to its original function and thickness of walls so a larger rear extension was required.  The application was won on appeal following a lengthy process involving planning case law over the inclusion of existing on-site structures contributing to the allowable volumetric increase to the original house.  The term 'domestic adjunct' was used by the council to include a shed in its calculations which was dismissed at appeal.
