**Single-Storey Side Return Extension & Rear Loft Dormer Conversion** This proposal aims to enhance the existing mid-terraced Victorian property by adding a single-storey side return extension at ground level and a rear dormer conversion at the loft level. These modest yet impactful changes are designed to improve the internal living environment for a growing family while respecting the character of the property and the surrounding Mare Street Conservation Area. *Ground Floor Side Return Extension* A single-storey infill extension is proposed within the existing side return, currently an under-utilised outdoor space. The extension will enlarge the kitchen, creating a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area. New roof lights will be installed above the extension to maximize natural daylight in the deep floor plan. The rear façade of the extension will feature contemporary metal cladding with a copper-effect finish, offering a sensitive contrast to the original stock brickwork. Existing openings onto the garden will be retained and complemented by new Crittall-style glazed doors and windows to improve connection with the outdoor space. The design ensures there is no negative impact on neighbouring amenity in terms of daylight or privacy. *Rear Loft Dormer Conversion* A full-width rear dormer is proposed to accommodate two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom at loft level. The dormer will be clad in materials that match the roof finish to ensure visual continuity. Three roof-lights will be added to the front roof slope, designed to sit flush to minimise visibility from the street. A new glazed door will provide access to a private roof terrace located above the rear outrigger. A glass balustrade will enclose the terrace, offering a contemporary amenity space that is in keeping with similar rooftop terraces already present along Tudor Road. *Overall Impact* The scheme has been thoughtfully developed, taking into account local character, nearby precedents, and the conservation setting. It delivers a meaningful increase in internal space and functionality while maintaining architectural coherence and making a positive contribution to the residential streetscape.
