Officer's Report

The property is an existing terraced house situated half way down Royal Avenue opposite Port Jack Glen. The property is a brick house with yellow brick feature reveals and timber boarded details on the projecting bay roof gable.

The property is in poor repair and the structural condition of the bay is in doubt. As such, it is proposed to rebuild the bay using matching bricks, the replacement of the roof covering with natural slates (the existing roof is slated but has ben covered in a sealant and looks a matt pale grey). Also proposed is the replacement on the windows with half and hlad plastic casements. the existing windows are top third opening casements. There are other plastic casement windows in the terrace.

It would be preferable if possible, to re-use the existing bricks to ensure an exact match with the front bay.
