Building plan creation and submission. 1. Add new kitchen in a dining area with space for gas stove washing bowl and centre island. 2. Convert exiting kitchen into a pantry, scullery and washroom. 3. Brick up existing kitchen window with glass bricks. 4. Remove existing dining room window and replace with two smaller windows flanking a new Gas Stove. 5. Convert 1 bedroom into a bathroom to create a second ensuite. 6. Remove a wall between Storeroom and TV room to create one space with doors to close when not in use as a cinema room.
