Planning approval in Camberley

We are delighted to have secured planning approval from Surrey Heath Council for an extensive remodelling and extension project in one of Camberley's most sought after areas. The scheme will sensitively rejuvenate an early 20th century cottage style house to create a modern family home. The design includes a new front entrance, open plan kitchen /dining area and master bedroom suite with terrace. The works will also include an upgrade of the existing building fabric to create a homogeneous and energy efficient design.

A planning application is also under review for a new detached garage that will complete the masterplan of the plot. Works on the extension are due to start imminently with a  completion date for the end of this year.

Progress on site in Farnham

Our project in Dene Lane, Lower Bourne is near to completion. The render finish and timber cladding have been added since our last visit. The timber cladding ties in perfectly with the wooded surrounds of the site whilst the render provides a complementary contrast in colour and texture. In a wider context, the project has seen the overhaul of the original house and a new wing added that has doubled the footprint to create a fabulous new family home. The work has been undertaken by Durrant Construction.

Planning secured for a double storey front extension in Farnborough

We have successfully secured planning approval from Rushmoor Borough Council for a double storey front extension and a single storey rear extension.  The four bedroom property dates from the 1950s and is located next to the South Farnborough Conservation Area.  The approval will allow for the creation of a larger master bedroom with en suite, work from home study and an enlarged kitchen/dining area.  In total this covers 60 sqm of new build plus internal alterations.  The materials will provide a contemporary contrast between vertical shadow gap lurch cladding and brick work.  Construction will start on site later this month with Colbur builders.

Planning permission in Guildford

After close collaboration with Guildford Borough Council we have secured planning approval for an exciting two-storey oak framed rear extension.  The property is an end of terrace house dating from the mid-20th century.  Our client entrusted us to make this tired house fit for their lifestyle and enjoyment.  The principal design feature will be a two-storey oak frame extension, that will accommodate a new master bedroom suite and open plan kitchen/dining area.  The extension will utilise natural light to create a sense of volume and space.  The project will also involve reconfiguring the ground and first floor layouts to create a harmonious link between the existing and proposed.  We are looking forward to starting on site in the spring, once we have completed the technical design work for Building Regulations and tendering purposes.

Double storey extension – Planning approved in Farnham

We are delighted to have secured planning approval in Farnham for a double-storey rear extension. Our client's house dates from the 1930's and had been previously extended with a low quality utility room and conservatory. The proposal will remove these elements to create a transformed family home with an additional 80 sqm of ground and first floor space. The key feature of the design is a central gabled section containing a new master bedroom suite and open plan family space below. The architectural style of the original house has been updated for a more contemporary approach. We are looking forward to the next stage of the project.

Planning approval in Surrey Heath

We were delighted to secure planning at the end of last year for a two-storey side/rear extension in Lightwater. Our client's original house dating from the early 1990's suffered from the usual design flaws of houses from this era; namely a small kitchen, lack of utility space, compartmentalised rooms and a small front-facing master bedroom.

To fulfil the client's brief, we have improved the layout by reorganising the existing space and adding new space where required to create a house fit for current lifestyle trends. The proposal includes; a master bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite over the existing garage, and an open-plan dining and kitchen area forming part of the new and existing areas. Now that planning has been granted, we are moving onto the technical design stage to secure building regulations approval, and for formal tendering purposes.

Planning approval in Farnham for front and rear extension

We received some good news to start 2023, with the approval of a front and rear extension in Farnham by Waverley Borough Council. Although our client's five-bedroom house is spacious it has a small kitchen/dining area and study, our design proposal remedied these problems by creating new extensions at the rear and front. The extensions will enable the internal layout to be reorganised to form a harmonious combination of the new and existing elements. The key features of the kitchen/dining area include a vaulted ceiling and a 5m wide full full height opening that offers wonderful views of Farnham Castle. We are looking forward to work starting on site later this year.
