We are planning to build a new first floor holiday let unit close to our house. It is only marginally beyond the ‘daydream phase’ but will involve demolishing and rebuilding two car ports, a workshop and a woodshed, all of which fall into the category of ‘eyesores’. If we do this properly we think we could get the lower ground floor space we need, an income we would appreciate (!) and substantially improve the look of our entire plot.
We do not know what our local planners would make of the idea yet but were wondering about sedum roofing. The single pitched roof will be facing south west on one side and north east on the other. We are at a relatively exposed site 600 feet above sea level.
Anyone have experiences, good or bad, that will help our deliberations.
