Planning: - Harborough District Council Planning Application Number: 16/00765/FUL.
A full renovation of the house began in 2016. This included brand new central heating system and Boiler. New glazing throughout to include the doors front and back, Internal Insulation, loft insulation and boarding. The plans that were submitted to Harborough Council were for a double storey extension to the left and a single storey extension to the rear of the property. Only the rear extension (phase one) has been completed as the second extension to the left of the property was intended to be phase two. Planning permission for phase two has since elapsed however we are informed after recent queries that contact the planning department may suffice to reinstate this application given that the plans have not altered in line with the original drawings.
