DM/2023/01056 LBC – The proposal is to construct a new roof over the existing roof within the circular chimney towards the lefthand side of the building. This will provide a fall to an enlarged outlet to prevent water pooling on the roof covering

and causing dampness within the building. Currently the access to the chimney is small and present numerous health and safety risks. We propose to lower the
