BUILDING ACT 1984 - SECTION 16 (10) (a)

摘要

The proposed building work to which this determination relates is the provision of a two storey side extension to a two storey house. The extension will increase the width of the house by 2m towards the boundary with a neighbouring property. At ground floor, the extension will enlarge the kitchen and provide a new toilet/shower room and a utility room. On the first floor, one bedroom will be enlarged, along with the bathroom. Your proposals formed the basis of a full plans application which was rejected by the Borough Council on 4 October 2004 on the grounds that insufficient information had been provided to ascertain compliance with the Building Regulations. The Borough Council had previously indicated that the proposed construction of a 'box gutter' on the flank wall of the extension adjoining the boundary was unsatisfactory. It is in respect of this question that you have applied to the Secretary of State for a determination.
