The Roundhay brief
For a Roundhay or Oakwood house, an extension can change how the original rooms receive daylight and how the roof is read from the street. For a tighter Harehills plot, the same design may not fit the available access. Use your own elevation and boundaries to compare the options.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
LS8 / 01
Test the rooms behind the extension
Bring to the conversationAn existing and proposed ground-floor plan with window positions.
Why this matters
Draw the depth of the proposed addition and the remaining openings into the existing house. Discuss daylight to the middle rooms before committing to the largest footprint that seems to fit the garden.
LS8 / 02
Check the roof connection
Bring to the conversationRear and side elevations with window sill and eaves heights.
Why this matters
Show how the new roof meets eaves, upstairs windows and any existing side addition. Compare a junction that can be maintained with one that depends on concealed or difficult-to-reach gutters.
The address matters
