APPLICATION WITHDRAWN
Listed Building Consent Application: Forge Cottage, Warwick Road (Ref. W/24/0965/LB)
Application No: W/24/0965 LB
Description: The proposal is to add a washbasin and sink adjacent to the main bedroom in a space that was previously a large cupboard approximately 1.6 metres by 1.2 metres. The new washroom will use a macerating toilet and the outlet pipe (32 or 38mm diameter) and the hot and cold water supplies will be ducted across the landing following the existing central heating pipes across the landing into the single storey bathroom roof void, where the effluent pipe will go through the outside wall to the existing soil pipe and the hot and cold water supplies will tee off the combi boiler. Building regulations require an extractor fan and this will use a duct from the washroom behind the wardrobes and exit via a 110mm hole in the North Gable End which cannot be seen either from the road or the back of the property. The existing 13 amp socket will provide the power for the macerator and the extractor fan will operate from the existing light connection.
