The stone will be reused for the external elevations of the approved garage and has been selected to match the existing dwelling in character, colour and appearance. Proposed Roofing Material: The approved garage incorporates a flat roof, for which we propose to use a Firestone EPDM rubber roofing membrane system or an equivalent system. This will provide a durable, low-profile finish suitable for the flat-roof construction and will have minimal visual impact on the development's appearance.

We look forward to receiving your confirmation.Received 5 Oct 202606/26/00885/DIS
