After close collaboration with Waverley Borough Council, we are pleased to have secured planning approval for a loft conversion and side extension in Haslemere.  The side extension will form part of the ground floor reconfiguration, enabling our client to maximise their kitchen and dining area.  The project also includes a new master bedroom suite which will be formed from a significant alteration to the roof, and conversion of the loft, that will create an additional volume of 50 cubic metres.  Our client is delighted with the outcome and is looking forward to the work starting on site this summer.

We are delighted to have secured planning approval for our client to extend their characterful Victorian cottage in rural Hampshire. The scheme has created a harmonious and sensitive design that links the existing and new parts. The key feature will be a vaulted ceiling wing compromising of the kitchen and principal family area with an oak frame and brick chimney. The increase of 56 sqm in floor space will include additions to the side, front and rear. We are looking forward to work starting on site later this year on this lovely project.

Our recent visit to our extension to Medstead Sport Pavilion was a good opportunity to catch up with the progress on site following recent delays with the weather. The walls are almost up to wall plate height with the roof construction to follow. Once the building works are watertight, the internal works can begin with a completion date scheduled for the end of May. It has been a pleasure to work on a community project that will provide a great benefit to the local area. The works are being undertaken by Turnquay Construction of Portsmouth.

We are delighted our proposal for a new dwelling in the village of Woodmancott has been approved by Winchester City Council at Planning Committee. Planning services for the application were provided by K4 in Basingstoke. Works are due to start on site later this spring. Once complete our clients will be able to enjoy a contemporary 180 sqm three-bedroom dwelling with stunning views of the Hampshire countryside.

We are very pleased to have secured planning approval for a delightful extension in Lower Bourne. Set against the background of Bourne Woods, the scheme is for a two-wing 60 sqm extension on a Victorian period bungalow. The layout will include an extra bedroom, an enlarged kitchen/dining area and associated remodelling works. The design has been based on a contemporary styling to blend sensitively with the existing fabric. We are looking forward to work starting on site later this year on what promises to be a lovely project.

We were very pleased to see work progressing on programme for our project in the delightful village of Rudgwick. The works will see the complete transformation of a1960’s bungalow into a contemporary dwelling fit for today’s lifestyle requirements. The layout has been organised to maximize the views of the surrounding West Sussex countryside. Our design includes front and rear extensions that will be incorporated into an upgrade and visual enhancement of the existing house. The works are being under by Durrant Construction, with completion due in the early summer.

You may be aware that recently the government announced a consultation to review permitted development rights for householders. The consultation will end on the 8^th April and the changes will come into effect later this year once.  If you would like to contribute to the consultation process, please follow the link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/changes-to-various-permitted-development-rights-consultation

We support the changes as they will remove some of the constraints of the current guidance to the benefit of the planning system and householders. Key proposed changes will include wraparound single storey extensions, increases to two storey rear extensions and more flexibility with materials. If you would like to have a chat about the changes, please contact us for further advice. The image shows a recent single storey side/return extension in Farnham by MJH Architects that was under permitted development and was approved by Waverley with a Certificate of Lawfulness.

We had the recent pleasure of visiting our project in Oakley. With completion almost ready, our client has returned to their exciting new home. The extensive works have seen the removal of the original internal fabric and the additions of a new roof to include a luxury master bedroom suite and rear/side extensions for key ground floor space. Once the render has been painted and the landscape/garden works completed, our clients’ dream home will have been achieved. It has been a delight to have helped them on their journey.  The works were undertaken by CDF Homes and executed to the highest quality.

After close collaboration with East Hants District Council (EHDC,) we recently secured planning permission to enlarge a 1930’s bungalow with an exciting contemporary ground and first floor extension totalling 70 sqm. The project will also include extensive remodelling of the exiting layouts and upgrading of the external finishes to include a smooth render and timber cladding combination that will compliment the wooded surrounds of the site. Works have now started on site with Maple Building Services and will be complete by the summer.

We recently visited one of our projects in the Alton conservation area and were very pleased to hear from our clients that they were delighted with the result. The extension and remodelling works have completely transformed their characterful 19^th century cottage into a sensitively designed contemporary home. The key features include an open plan kitchen/dining area with soft seating and utility and ground floor bathroom. It is always a privilege to share the journey with our clients and help them achieve their dream.
