Roof Slate As specified in our application we intend to tile the roof with Welsh slate, not Spanish or other types. If you still require a sample before we purchase then I would ask that the approval process is very fast when we provide a sample as I am concerned that delays may result in us losing a suitable economic batch of slate. 2.       Gutters As you know we currently have a variety of plastic and cast iron gutters finished in various colours, some on fascia boards and some on rise and fall brackets see photos attached. I am asking your permission to standardise: to remove fascias, make good and replace with rise and fall brackets as per existing, remove plastic gutters and replace with cast iron painted black. Similarly for hoppers and down pipes. I would chose 5  half round gutters, like the existing cast iron and would choose accessories to match. Hoppers would be either to match the existing cast iron one, or be simple plain rectangular hoppers where plastic rectangular hoppers currently exists. I am happy for the design to be like Tuscan Foundry Products as you proposed, Code: CHR-1829 Common Half Round Gutter 1829mm, Code: H1; Ornamental Hopper H1 (as existing), and to replace the oblong plastic hopper with: Code: H42A Ornamental Hopper H42A; down pipes as per Code: 6RWPED, Round Rainwater Pipe Eared 1829mm with bends and outlets to match; rise and fall brackets: Code: TRB504 Rise & Fall Drive In (Plated). So, all in half round 5  

cast iron and all painted black with matching accessories. 3.       Flue Assuming the Stall and Boskin can be removed (see 4 below) the flue will exit just below the purlin on the rear roof slope of the garage such that is 2300mm from the higher house gable (HETAS requirement), it will rise 1M from the roof (HETAS requirement). As it is set back from the ridge by 1.5M it will not be visible from the front of the house. See drawing attached. 4.       Boiler Assuming the Stall and Boskin can be removed (see 4 below) the boiler will be located just in front of the stairs as per the drawing attached. 5.       Stall & Boskin I cleared the area around the Stall and Boskin last night, photographed and measured it. I have taken lots of photos which I can make available to you, but attach the best for your record. Please can you let me know ASAP if this can be removed and if the boiler and flue is approved so I can order the boiler system. Its size is 270cms long (wall to post at end of panelling), 175cm wide (width of hay rack), the trough is 97cms to the bottom from the floor and 117cms floor to top, the hay rack is 215cms at the top from the floor. 6.       Extractor vents There are three extractor vents: a.       The vent cover for the new ground floor en-suite will cover the existing 4  diameter hole. I propose to use a round slotted grill in the existing 4  hole, as recommended by http://www.castironairbricks.co.uk/product-category/round-slotted-grilles/ ; however as they suggest their grill can also be used as a drain grill I will look to see if I can source a cast iron drain grill at a much lower price to use in the same way. It would be finished in black paint. b.      The vent for the new utility room will use the existing vent cover. The extractor will be located to use this vent. c.       The vent cover for the extractor in the front first floor en-suite will have an ornamental 4  circular cast iron air brick, like: product code 977 from Longbottom Foundry.

It will be finished in black paint. The location of the vent will be close to the top of the existing shower, under the eaves (on the easterly facing wall). 7.       Stonework The window in the west elevation will not be implemented, as per your request. Therefore the stonework tooling is no longer relevant. 8.       Windows All new windows will be set back at least 75mm from the external wall face, as you request. 9.       Paint We hope you have had a chance to review the Farrow and Ball colour chart and approve of our plans to use the near white Pale powder  for the window frames, and 

Green Blue  (the 

traditional existing farm colour) for the doors. Both colours are recessive and from the same colour pallet and will go together well, whilst complementing the limestone walls. I hope the above details enable you to recommend approval without conditions, so we can proceed ASAP. If there are any concerns please discuss with me so we can resolve them. Regarding the planning application NP/HPK/0714/0802: Further to my email of yesterday, I plan to render the fireplace with breathable lime based render as per the attached materials quote, however the finish coat will remain a plain uncoloured lime white finish. Condition 7 - The vent would be covered by a grill as in 6.a. above. It will be finished in black paint. The location to be determined and notified to you in the future. Thank you for your email yesterday with the form: discharge of conditions application Note 18. I will complete this once you indicate you are happy with the information I have sent you.
