Hi, I’m in process of purchasing a 1930s semi-detached that has curved bow windows upstairs and downstairs both at the front and back of the house. The plan is to add a single story flat roof Kitchen/diner extension on the back of the house. I have a few questions on this - advice will be much appreciated! 1) no other houses on the street have removed the ground floor bow window - are we likely to encounter problems with planning permission?; 2) is it possible to retain the first floor bow window above the extension whilst removing the ground floor one? (Without it costing a fortune!); 3) will structural support needed to address the bow windows be very costly or will it just be marginally more?
