Adonis Village: Request for External Change – unit no M1

The owners of M1 would like to install a new narrow roof cover to protect the side of the building and cover the four exposed AC compressor units.

The proposed materials will be the same roof pantiles as used elsewhere in Adonis Village on the roof of all blocks and will appear the same as those used to cover the electrical housing at the side of each block (see photo below).

The objective is twofold, firstly water causing damp inside the property enters the outside through the gaps between the outside wall and the plinth below the AC units (see photo below).. Secondly, the AC units are exposed to the elements and cause the units to deteriorate far sooner than their expected life span and look unsightly.

The new roof cover will extend only so far as to cover the AC units approximately 300 -400 mm and divert rain away from the units and the wall. The roof will extend along most of the side wall and will not have any side wall or front cover except as needed to support the roof. The owners plan to replace all the AC units once the roof protection has been approved and implemented.

The proposed roof will not be seen from the road and is only exposed to the rear and is in any case in keeping with the same tile, shape, type, colour and aesthetics of Adonis Village.

Above photo shows the existing situation where rain water enters the gaps between the plinth beneath the AC units and the wall.

The above photo is an example of the electrical housing on each block with the type of roofing that is proposed to cover the AC units.
