The roof will be finished with grey concrete tiles to match the existing house roof. The new windows will be in white upvc, to match the existing windows.

Reasons to Support the Application: The new bedroom is required by the applicants to allow space for their family. The appearance of the extension will match the existing house and it will blend in well with the overall design of the house without being in any way obtrusive.
