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.

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.

After close collaboration with Waverley Borough Council (WBC), we have secured planning approval for a two-storey rear extension. After some initial concerns from the planning case officer, we were successfully able to demonstrate that the proposal was in accordance with WBC’s design guidance and would result in a minimal adverse impact on the neighbouring properties. The scheme will provide a delightful fit for purpose family home with a spectacular open plan family/kitchen space and master bedroom suite. The design has a sensitive contemporary styling that will sit harmoniously with the original 1930’s house. Works are due to start on site imminently with Messenger and Sons.

We are delighted to have secured planning approval for an exciting contemporary designed extension in Old Basing. The project includes a connected two storey side and single storey rear extension to a 1980’s detached house. The key features consist of an open plan family/kitchen area, master bedroom suite with terrace and home office. The scheme has been designed around a tight triangular site to maximise daylight whilst providing our clients with privacy. We are looking forward to works getting under way early next year after completion of the technical design and tendering phase.

We recently visited one of our projects in Farnham that has started on site. The works are being split into two phases. The first phase includes extension and reconfiguration works to the ground floor. Phase two will cover first floor works to include a new full width dormer to accommodate two additional bedrooms. Works are progressing on time, and when complete, will have successfully transformed the property into a contemporary home to complement its secluded plot and surrounding woodland.

We have recently secured planning approval for the second phase of a client’s project in the delightful village of Holybourne. The first phase approval was for a front extension, the second phase is for works at the rear of the property. Overall, both extensions will combine to a create a harmonious design that will transform a typical 1980’s detached house into a contemporary home with a much sought after open plan family space, additional bedroom, and flex room. Work will be starting on site with Flint Construction next month.

It is always a pleasure to be invited back to see our clients’ finished projects. In this case, the works for a side/return and first floor extension in Henley’s Conservation Area, were completed in the summer. Our clients’ love the finished design and are amazed how much it has completely transformed their family’s quality of life. It is always great to receive such positive feedback, as a project’s success is always based on a collaboration between us and our clients. The works were undertaken by W. Pocock and sons with interiors by Hannah Dean.

We visited one of our Alton projects recently to review progress and were pleased to see works were on schedule, with the foundations and drainage almost completed. When finished the works will have transformed our client’s bungalow into a contemporary designed two storey family home. Front, side and rear extensions, with a sensitively designed roof dormer, were secured under householder planning and permitted development (certificate of lawfulness) applications respectively. As the project is over 100 sqm, and will be our client’s primary home, it will be exempt from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The works are being undertaken as a self-build project with assistance from Maple Building Services.

We were delighted to accept an invite from our client to visit phase one of their project, the completed swimming pool/garden building in the South Buckinghamshire Green Belt. The 30sqm building will provide complementary amenity space for their garden and outdoor swimming pool area. The building was orientated to provide wonderful views of the surrounding ancient woodland which forms part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The external finishes include western red cedar cladding and slate tiles with integrated solar panels. Works also includes a new patio area and an upgrade of the existing swimming pool. We are looking forward to starting phase two of the project, which will be a substantial reworking of the existing house, to include a new two storey rear extension and garage. Combined, both phases will form a stunning contemporary home.

We are pleased to have recently secured planning approval for a sensitively designed extension to a lovely Victorian Cottage in Alton. Although not listed, the property has an abundance of charm and interesting traditional design features. Our design has created a larger kitchen/dining area that will greatly enhance the family-based lifestyle of our client whilst ensuring the addition is respectfully integrated into the existing house. The external walls will be faced in matching brick and the roof is a combined flat/monopitch style, which maximises the internal height and lessens the impact on the adjoining property. We look forward to work starting on site in the near future.
