The approved scheme will allow our client to extend an open plan space across the full width of the rear aspect. The new space will allow the kitchen, dining, and seating areas to be combined to improve the internal flow, use of natural light, and relationship with the garden. The design responds to entertaining and childcare requirements as well as increasing wellbeing for daily life.

As part of the application process, we were assisted by Daniel Ahern Ecology. Work is due to start on site later this year

During our latest site visit to Dene Lane, we were pleased to see heritage-style windows have now been installed and the internal works are gathering pace, with Durrant Construction aiming to complete in mid-spring.

The windows will be a key feature of the house allowing natural light to be utilised to create open and light internal spaces that, combined, will create a unique sense of light and space. We look forward to completion as the finishing line nears.

After close collaboration with Waverley Borough Council, we are pleased to have secured planning approval for a large extension to an Edwardian house in Hindhead. The approval includes a double-storey front extension and the conversion of the loft into a master bedroom suite.

The proposal has been designed to complement the existing house style to create a harmonious composition. The increased gross external area of 90 sqm, and the internal layout modifications, will improve the flow of the house, and our clients' experience of living in the house.

Work is due to start on site in mid Spring.

Despite the January weather, we were pleased to see the progress being made by Marshall and Mace with our project in Long Sutton.

The foundations and suspended floor have been built with minimal disruption. The build works include the removal of the conservatory to be replaced with a larger side/rear extension, which will extend out an additional 4 metres. The key features of the new extension will include high quality sliding doors, tall slot windows and a large roof lantern sitting on a crown roof. The scope of works will also include a new kitchen and an air source heat pump with underfloor heating.

The project is due for completion in the late spring and will enable our clients to enjoy the wonderful views of the north east Hampshire countryside.

We are pleased to have secured our first planning approval for 2022!

Runnymede Council has approved our application for an extension to the top floor of a 1960s three-bedroom house. The house is split into three levels to reflect the topography of the site. The additional space on the top floor will allow for the intermediate floor (entrance level) to be reconfigured to improve the layout of the house. Currently, the unusual plan has two bedrooms located next to the kitchen.

The additional space on the top floor will allow for the bedrooms to move up a floor, thereby freeing the intermediate level for daily family life. As the plot benefits from a substantial rear garden, the window openings were maximised to allow for views of the garden. The client was keen to avoid a box dormer aesthetic, as a result, the additional space will be built upwards from the existing walls.

On our last working day of 2021 we were delighted to have secured planning approval for an exciting project in Farnborough. The large contemporary style single storey extension covers a new build space of 38 sqm. The planning application was approved by Rushmoor Borough Council within the eight-week determination period.

Build works are due to start on site in the spring once we have obtained Building Control approval. The proposal will feature the removal of a lean-to-conservatory, a new open plan kitchen/family space, and a reorganisation of the existing layout to include a new entrance, pantry and utility room. The proposal will enable our clients to enjoy multi-generational family life in a revived home to match current lifestyle trends and to maximise the relationship between the plot and the house.

We managed to undertake our final site visit of last year to Darby Green before the Xmas break and were really pleased to see the progress Marshall and Mace have made since the installation of the sliding doors. The plastering has been completed with the mist cot almost finished. The kitchen installation is in progress with work due to be completed before the spring.

Even in the middle of winter, it is evident that the two large sliding door openings with minimal framing and glazed corner have completely transformed the relationship between the house and the garden. The internal works have opened up a small dark kitchen and dining area into a large open-plan space filled with natural light that will become the hub of family life.

Although it was a cold December morning, we were delighted to visit our site in Lasham for the installation of the flat roof covering. We were pleased to see Joe Taylor's team have made good progress on site and, with the imminent installation of the roof lights, the project will be watertight and ready for the start of the internal works in the new year.

The recent installation of the 7m wide sliding doors with minimal frames have opened the rear of the house to showcase a glorious view of the north Hampshire countryside. We look forward to the completed project early next year
