Proposal

The house is a challet bungelow with just the garages having a common wall. Our plan is to extend further from the existing small extension. We would like to extend 8m from the original rear wall of the house. I would like to then extend from right to left by 8m and creat a small courtyard within teh central area. See drawing for details
