Planning approved for a new house near Henley-on-Thames

We are delighted to have secured planning approval for a stunning new house in the village of Shiplake. The new house will provide 200 sqm (2,150 sq ft) of internal space with the layout designed to maximise the orientation of the sun and the privacy of a surrounding wooded embankment. The house features an open plan kitchen/family space and guest bedroom on the ground floor, with the first floor featuring a vaulted master bedroom suite with views of the surrounding woodland. To compliment the house, a landscape design will help to bring the inside and outside elements of the plot together to form a unique relationship. A renewable energy design will also ensure the house has minimal environmental impact on the surrounding countryside. A material palette of render, timber cladding and a zinc roof will provide a visually interesting and complementary contrast. We are looking forward to build works starting on site this spring.

Snagging visit in Woking

We had the pleasure of recently visiting our nearly completed project in Woking during the final snagging stage. The project includes a spectacular master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and an open plan family space. The existing house has also been completely upgraded to include new rendered walls, a Tesla Powerwall and roof tiles. Renewables were also a key part of the design with integrated solar panels.  The stunning 120 sqm project was completed by Durrant Construction and forms another completed project in our long-standing relationship. For our client the project has completely transformed the enjoyment of their now forever home.

Planning granted in Camberley

We were delighted to recently receive planning approval from Surrey Heath for a contemporary styled 190 sqm two storey rear and side extension in Camberley. After close collaboration with Surrey Heath, we were able to overcome their concerns relating to nearby tree preservation orders and design features. The bespoke design has been based around the topography of the site, which has a rear garden formed by a 2m high retaining wall and its secluded position at the end of a cul-de-sac. Key features will include a double height hall, an open plan family space and master bedroom suite with vaulted ceiling and terrace. On site works will start in early spring.

Planning approved in Farnham

We have enjoyed a perfect start to the new year by successfully securing planning approval for a delightful orangery style extension for a characterful 1930’s house in the Firgrove area of Farnham. The extension will form part of a stunning open plan family space to include a kitchen, pantry, dining, and soft seating areas. The design will create an additional 40 sqm of space. The orangery style design will allow for high levels and quality of natural light to create a space that is in harmony with the seasons. Work is due to start on site in the spring and we are looking forward to our client’s dream becoming a reality.

Planning granted in Aldershot

We were pleased to recently receive planning approval from Rushmoor Borough Council for a delightful ground floor extension and two side extension. Our clients have already completed some alterations to the property, but the new extensions will complete the process for them. The key spaces that have been created include a larger open plan kitchen/family area, living room and additional bedroom. Externally, the scheme will be finished with a cream through colour render, clay roof tiles and a subtle grey window and door frames to create a calm and balanced presence. Works will be starting on site next year and when complete will have transformed the property and unlocked its potential.

Works progressing on site at Camberley

A recent visit to our Camberley project was an opportunity to catch up with the latest progress as we head towards the end of the year. The installation of the new roof tiles on the new and existing roof was close to completion with the new build ground floor walls for the front entrance and open plan rear extension to follow. The internal works have recently included the removal of all the existing plastering that deteriorated beyond repair. Overall, the project is progressing on track for completion next spring. We are looking forward to seeing the completion of this amazing project. Works are being undertaken by Marshall and Mace.
