Proposed changes to
39 Holbrook Road, South Knighton, Leicester LE2 3LG
History: When I bought the house it was a shop downstairs (No. 39) and a self contained flat upstairs(No. 39a). Consequently the front garden was removed, and large shop windows were installed in the front of the house, probably in the 1980's.
No 39 is the one on the right.
This is what I want to do
This is a photoshop hack of what I want to do to the front of the house, i.e. take out the shop windows and the door and replace with 2 windows, keeping in style of next door ...
In addition I want to put my front garden back in. All but 3 houses on the street have front gardens. Like so ...
Questions:
- Do I need permission to change the front of the house as shown above?
- Can I reclaim the area in front of my house as garden?
Next door have also said they would like to put thier garden back in and we wondered if the two applications, if needed could be done together.
