Extension, Residential 

 

Wareham, Dorset: 


  

Our latest design, which we have just submitted for planning, is truly stunning. Nestled in the enchanting surroundings of dreamy Dorset, we have crafted a design for a large scale single-storey rear extension that enhances the client’s forever home, blending with the existing property and surrounding vernacular.

    Conversion, Residential 

     

    3 Small Lane, Bristol: 


    Located within the Stapleton and Frome Valley Conservation area, this project was an integrated Garage conversion, to enable the existing house to have additional living space and remove an unused Garage, it required planning permission; neighbouring houses had undertaken the same works, which helped the case for planning approval.

        Extension, Residential 

         

        20 Close Gardens, Tetbury: 


        Located within the Cotswolds AONB (Area of outstanding natural beauty), this project was an enhanced extension which required householder planning permission by default because of its size and location; it was important that this project was inkeeping visually with both material type and geometry. 

         
         

          Conversion, Residential 

           

          Maytree Outbuildings: 

          Conversion of ancillary space to guest accommodation

           
           

          Project cost: £50,000

           
           

          Located in North Bristol, the clients found themselves with a large collection of outbuildings in the back garden which were not being used. Converting the outbuildings presented a solution: 'change of use' planning permission was sought. 

            New Build, Residential


            Cotswold Ridge: 

            Sustainable contemporary design


            Project cost: £1.2 Million


            Located in the Cotswolds AONB (Area of outstanding natural beauty), this luxury house is to be situated on a hillside site, offering views overlooking the Severn valley in Gloucestershire, England. Being sympathetic towards its surroundings, using Cotswold Oolitic Limestone and local timber.

              Rear & Side Extensions, Residential

              Permitted Development:


              The client wished to utilise their permitted development rights (without the need for planning permission); living in a non-designated area in North Bristol they were able to do this by adhering to the criteria, as published by the department of housing for England; other countries within the UK having similar. 

                New Build, Residential

                Yate, South Gloucestershire:


                The site is a plot of land left unbuilt on in a large suburban area located in a satellite town north of Bristol, the aim of building on the site which has had full planning permission applied for is to provide additional housing to the area in keeping with the existing houses, with the original design principles adopted within a modern context.

                  4 Metre Width Rear Extension, Residential


                  North Bristol: 

                  Permitted Development

                  (Larger scale, requiring prior approval)


                  The client wished to utilise their permitted development rights (without requiring planning permission); in a non-designated area they are able to do this. Rear single storey extensions more than 3 metres width, up to 6 metres on a terraced house requires ‘prior approval’.

                    Rear & 2 Storey Side Extensions, Residential

                    Bradley Stoke, South Gloucestershire:


                    The submission of a householder planning application for this project, which would allow for a significant increase in the floor area of the property, making the house more desirable with more comfortable spaces for adequate living.
