The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
