Summary 33 CANNAN AVENUEM KIRK MICHAEL SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR PLANNING APPLICATION Date 14 September 2020 REV A Updates indicated in blue
INTRODCUTION
The Applicants, redacted and redacted, have purchased the existing bungalow at 33 Cannan Avenue in spring 2020 and are in the process of refurbishing it to make it their family home.
The building is located in a residential area just north of the A3 / TT Course with most of the surrounding detached bungalows built at the same time and in the same style. A number of the adjacent properties have been refurbished or extended over time, 33 is however in its original state and in need of some repairs and improvements
The building use will remain a residential property, no change in use is proposed and the useable floor area and building height will remain unaffected. The site is not located in a conservation area and neighbours directly adjacent are aware of the plans.
The Applicants are intending to undertake the following interventions to the external elevations:
All existing windows are to be replaced with new PVCu double glazed windows with a thermal performance compliant with current Building Regulations. The window size will generally remain as existing.
The current side door leading from the kitchen area to the path between 33 Cannan Avenue and the adjacent Burn Brae will be filled in by blockwork in the lower part with a window above. This is to allow more flexibility for a dining area in this room.
The main entrance door and back door will be replaced by new PVCu doors with partial glazing with a thermal performance compliant with current Building Regulations. The timber garage door will also be replaced with a new up and over garage door.
The external chimney and stack will be removed as they are no longer in use and not structurally required. Making good will be with the use of tiles of similar type and colour as the existing.
Redecoration of external areas with paint finishes will also be undertaken to all external walls, but no thermal upgrades or other changes are proposed at this stage. Roof and garage facias etc will also be replaced where necessary.
A Building control Application for the window replacement will be submitted concurrently with the planning application.

The Applicants are also intending to make the following improvements to the driveway and landscaped areas:
It is proposed that the driveway will be increased by ca 1.5 m to allow for additional width and better alignment with the building edge. One carparking space with a width of 3.4 m is shown on the drive way with sufficient space for pedestrian access alongside, an additional carparking space for a small car is also available in the garage (as existing). The lowered kerb along the highway would need to be increased by the same width. There will be no effect on drainage or other services from this increase in driveway width.
It is proposed that the dilapidated timber fence will be replaced by a low-level wall with vegetation to improve outlook and appearance towards Cannan Avenue. Any new garden walls or fences will be kept to a height of less than 1 m to avoid impact on the visibility splay, which is also indicated on the site plan which is now included at a scale of 1:250 @ A3.
The images on the below show the building in its context and its current condition.
