WILDFLOWERS and rock plants can be grown on the roof of a home extension at Culcheth, planning chiefs at Warrington have decided.
The new, glazed extension at the house in Twiss Green Lane, can be built with wildflowers and sedum as part of the roof.
Planning chiefs say the development will provide a “modest environmental benefit.”
While the glazed elevations and sedum and wildflower roof are not design features found elsewhere in the surrounding area, they are justified by the non-uniformity of the street scene and the contemporary design of the existing dwelling, the planners say.
Overall, the design choices are deemed appropriate for the setting and the extension would be an attractive, harmonious addition to the dwelling.
