NEW BUILD - FULL PLANNING

Case study 8

Project type:

New build house design to vacant land in conservation area.

Project description

The brief for this project was to design a new three bedroom house on vacant land which is in a conservation area making it very difficult to achieve due to the high councils policy’s regarding town planning issues. We at Discount Plans Ltd designed a house with the exact internal layout as the other houses on the street making the design adequate for the requirements set out by the planners at the council. The external design was again the exact duplicate to the end of terrace house making no change to the surrounding area. The site in mind had adequate amenity space to the rear garden area and car parking was not an issue with this design as there were no existing households on the same street which had off street parking.

The project passed planning by means of an identical design of next door, matching both appearance and materials for the construction being use by the other houses in the same street, all matching brick type and face work to the new house design was a must to see this application through to a pass. This application took around 10 weeks as there were a lot of obstacles to overcome with various council departments.

Cost in construction £110,000 - £130,000.
