Design principles for front and side extensions

The following principles apply to the design of any front or side extension: i. Extensions should be well balanced in relation to the existing house and maintain the character of the area. ii. Extensions that face highways and the public footpath should have active frontages, such as front doors and windows facing the street. iii. The roof of the extension should be appropriately integrated with the existing property normally by using a similar pitch on the roof of the extension.
