Flying extension to listed building

[jess marley]

Would it be possible, within the extent of listings, to provide safe pedestrian access to my house by extending it at the rear, where there is safe vehicular and pedestrian access to the garden, but not directly the house? (Sorry, awful grammar)(or is it grammer)
The sort of thing I have in mind would constitue an entirely separate small building , about one room and a corridor big, accessed from the main house by a stairwell leading from the kitchen...the plot at the rear being 20 ft higher than the plot of the house. My imaginings see the fabric of the old house being changed only by the addition of a doorway in the rear wall from the scullery leading to the stairs up, the extension being a kind of separate wing, though rather more humble.
I know such queries are a bit sticky without drawn plans etc, but I'm only at the ruminating stage, sorry.

Anything is possible provided that your planning dpt and CO agree to your proposed ideas and plans.

Your first step is to discuss this with the CO and one of the planning officers, make an appointment and talk to them and discuss your ideas, they wiil help regarding what is likely to be accepted.

Advise your architect, or whoever draws your plans about any concerns the officers may have regarding your proposals.

It is also a good idea to talk to your neighbours ( if any) about what you would like to do which could affect the neighbourhood.
