Curious idea re extending out under a window...
Consider two appliances in front of a wide window.
- Replace the 255mm double-brick wall under the window with a lintel. - Extend by epoxy-needle the raft-overhang from 0.27m for a new wall. So creating a "box-bay" with 1.3x0.40m internal space. The appliances sit flush with the lintel on the inside. Whilst it may be a curious idea under Permitted Development, the real cost would be BR re foundations (existing raft toothpaste clay), wall construction, insulation, micro roof & insulation etc. Such a cost that it would be pointless compared to building a more conventional extension. I am certain I have seen it done, except by bolting to the wall so nothing touched the ground. Was that how they got around past regulations by creating essentially a "wall mounted cupboard"? |
