TO DISCUSS:
Dormer windows are of poor standard and need replacing - engineer has confirmed that

they are unsafe and need replacement rather than repair. 

Town architect has inspected dormer windows - and will write letter to allow

demolish and replacement rather than repair. (see below)
It is thus proposed to remove  the 2 dormers shown in red below.

WEEK 03. 23-07-12.

PROGRESS:

slates are stripped and rear walls down aswell.
No surprise - the chimney came down also.

TO DISCUSS:

this did leave some minor collatoral damage - a crack to the front elevation dormer

(see photo).

Its going to be tricky to prop wall and dormer in this

state but I think we are obliged to try as it is a planning condition.

The truth is however that the dormer window will in all

likleyhood have to be rebuilt in the end.
