\n Loft conversion and other works<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n A planning application has been submitted for a loft conversion and external and internal alterations at 36 Elfed Avenue in Penarth.\n<\/p>\n \n The scheme includes the construction of a rear dormer to create a new bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.\n<\/p>\n \n Internal works will see partition walls adjusted and a new staircase fitted, with an existing door opening blocked up and a wall removed to form a new bathroom.\n<\/p>\n \n Externally, a new driveway and vehicular crossover are also proposed, with part of the landscaped front garden due to be converted to accommodate vehicular access.\n<\/p>\n \n The rear garden will largely remain unchanged, retaining its existing soft landscaping, boundary vegetation, and permeable surfaces.\n<\/p>\n \n Biodiversity improvements form part of the proposals, including the installation of native planting and bird boxes.\n<\/p>\n \n Drainage and surface water management measures are also planned.\n<\/p>\n \n Work to trees<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n An application has been made for tree works at 17 St Augustine\u2019s Road, Penarth.\n<\/p>\n \n The planned works include felling a contorted willow near ground level, pollarding a pittosporum at 1.8 metres, and reducing the crown of an apple tree by around one metre.\n<\/p>\n \n A snowball tree will have its mature stem coppiced, and a cotinus will be thinned to retain a low crown.\n<\/p>\n \n A group of cornus and laurel growing from a neighbouring property will be pruned to the boundary.\n<\/p>\n \n A small eucalyptus and a sycamore sapling in the front garden will both be felled and their stumps removed.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
