| ns | Structural calculations & details are required to be deposited for the beams & roof structure. |
| ns | The proposal has been identified as being in an area which may be affected by Radon. Once the work has been completed it is advisable that the property is tested in accordance with National Radiological Protection Board's recommendations. Any cracks in the floor slab, walls, or at service entries are to be suitably sealed with flexible sealers. A radon tray is to be provided at GF dpc level. |
| ns | Consequential improvements are required to the existing dwelling. These could have an effect on the existing property and must be adhered to. Firstly note the comments in AD L1B (Wales) Section 4, page 15. For details on 'consequential improvement measures' see the following references: Extensions less than 10m2 refer to pages 15 & 16, paras 4.2.1 & 4.2.4. For extensions over 10m2 refer to pages 15 & 16, paras 4.2.2 & 4.2.4. Please provide details of how you proposals to meet the criteria. Consequential improvement measures • Where an existing dwelling is extended or converted, as a result increasing the habitable area by no more than 10m2, if there is no loft insulation or it is less than 200mm thick, provide 250mm of loft insulation or increase it to 250mm. • Where an existing dwelling is extended or converted, as a result increasing the habitable area by more than 10m2, the following energy efficiency improvements should be undertaken: • If the dwelling has uninsulated or partially insulated cavity walls, fill with insulation where suitable (cavity wall insulation may not be suitable for sites exposed to driving rain); and if there is no loft insulation or increase it to 250mm; and • Upgrade any hot water cylinder insulation as follows: • If the hot water cylinder is uninsulated, provide a 160mm insulated jacket, or • If the hot water cylinder has insulated jacket less than 100mm thick, add a further insulated jacket to achieve a total thickness of 160mm; • Or if the hot water cylinder has factory-fitted solid foam insulation less than 25mm thick, add an 80 mm insulated jacket. • Where the consequential improvement to increase the thickness of the loft insulation to 250mm is triggered by a loft conversion, the consequential improvement is still necessary as there are likely to be some areas of the loft floor remaining around the new heated volume, for example near the eaves. • Care should be taken when installing insulation to avoid any gaps. Particular attention should be paid around window and door openings, to junctions between building elements, such as between the walls and roof, and at changes of geometry, for example a corner in a wall or a hip in a roof. |
| ns | The proposed GF bedroom is an inner room provide a door between the living room and corridor to protect the bedroom escape route. |
| ns | The habitable rooms should be ventilated by both, a ventilation opening at least equal to 1/20th of the floor area of the room and, by a background ventilation opening equivalent to 80000mm2. |
| ns | Provide installation and test certificates for the solid fuel appliance. |
| ns | Provide a CO detector in the room with the wood burner. |
