1. Introduction This statement accompanies a full planning application for the installation of a frameless oriel-style glass box window on the ground floor, rear/side elevation of the property. The proposed works are minor in scale and aim to enhance natural daylight and visual connectivity between the kitchen and garden, while maintaining the character of the existing dwelling and its surroundings. 2. Site Description The application site comprises a [e.g. two-storey semi-detached] dwelling located at [insert address], within a primarily residential area. The property is not listed and is not located within a conservation area, Article 4 direction area, or any other designated heritage or restricted zone. 3. Proposal The proposal involves the installation of a frameless, fixed-glass oriel window to project from the rear/side elevation at ground floor level (kitchen). The oriel window will: • Project approximately 0.6–0.8m outward from the wall (as required to support the glazing); • Be constructed from frameless structural glazing, with minimal visible fixings; • Measure 2.1 metres in width by 1.6 metres in height; • Be fully glazed on all three external faces and the roof (if applicable), with high thermal performance (low U-value). The base of the projection will be cantilevered, maintaining clear access beneath the structure and ensuring no encroachment onto neighbouring land. 4. Design and Appearance The proposal adopts a minimalist architectural approach using frameless structural glazing, contributing to a light-touch, contemporary aesthetic. The design has been carefully chosen to remain subservient to the host dwelling, with high-quality materials that are consistent with modern construction standards. Due to its location on the rear/side elevation at ground floor, the proposed oriel window will not be visible from the public realm and will not materially alter the overall scale or character of the property. 5. Impact on Neighbours and Privacy The proposed installation does not involve additional overlooking, as it is at ground level and directed toward the rear garden, with no views into neighbouring habitable windows. The oriel box is fixed-glazed and will not open, further minimising any risk to privacy or noise transmission. The modest projection and location of the oriel window ensure no overshadowing or overbearing impact on adjacent properties. 6. Conclusion The proposed frameless oriel glass window is a high-quality, architecturally sensitive enhancement that improves internal daylighting and the quality of living space, without causing harm to the character of the building or surrounding area. Due to its minor scale and rear/side location, it represents a proportionate and appropriate development. Planning permission is therefore respectfully requested.
