The application added.
The original mansion house is prominent in its design & appearance, which is largely visible at the front of the building in the form of large windows, prominent gables and detailing overlooking mature gardens which gives a feeling of grand residence.
The proposed one & two level extensions have been designed to have a Manx stone outer layer to ‘ emphasis the original form of the house & maintain a separation between the house , as proposed, and the end of Eastfield estate.
According to the application, this will allow a more open-plan approach to the house and as such, the stairs will be moved to the rear & create a ‘ more formal entrance ‘
Oher changes changes to the stairs will ‘ make the house layout significantly more legible & usable.
Other changes include improved insulation, double glazing, ventilation, under flooring & the use of air source heat pumps.
The proposal utilises much of the original building footprint and landscaping ‘ in order to protect the character of the site & respect its position within the Woodbourne Road conservation area ‘
