We received good news from Winchester City Council after they granted approval for two applications that can now be combined to create our client’s dream home. Householder planning approval was required for a side return extension, which will create more ground floor space, whilst permitted development (PD) approval was needed for an additional bedroom via a box dormer. Due to the planning system, two applications were required as local planning guidance is not in favour of box dormers, hence the requirement for a PD application. With the planning process successfully concluded we can now progress with technical design work and a new year start for the build works.
