To make the project more affordable, they decided to reduce the scope of the work. They have refurbished the existing kitchen and seek permission for a minor amendment to the original application to construct a small single storey rear extension to form a dining room to compliment the refurbished kitchen. I have worked closely with the clients to try to keep the appearance of the house close to the original single storey kitchen building, using the same look and materials. The updated drawings included with this application show these minor changes."
