Conclusion

The proposed internal floor area addition to the rear of the unit is considered minor and will not
have a negative impact on the adjoining properties or the general amenity and aesthetic of the area.
We respectfully request that you consider the application favourably.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information.

Yours Faithfully
