Conversion of a Roof into a Habitable Room

This project consisted of two separate applications to meet the clients requirements. The first consisted of a 'householder' planning application to convert a section of the large garage into a living room, and then construct a false pitched roof in order to match the neighbouring property. The second application was 'permitted development' for a roof conversion from hipped to gable in order to incorporate a rear dormer extension with a juliet balcony, creating a second additional habitable room.

Listed Building Consent for Internal Alterations

Drawing and Planning were initially approached by a home owner for help reorganising the internal layout of his house. He was having to use an awkward side door to access his kitchen, and moving this doorway would help make things easier, as well as bringing much more light into the rest of the house. The problem was that it was a listed building, and any alterations such as this are typically frowned upon by local councils. Permission was granted enabling him to move his kitchen door, and improve a listed building in the process.

Garage Conversion and Side & Rear Extension

This chalet style property had an existing side dormer window, while the neighbouring property had recently had a large extension.

The plans doubled the size of the first floor of the property, and was granted within 6 weeks.

Conservation Area Consent for External Air Con Installation

The owner of a top floor flat in a conservation area had been served an enforcement letter by the local council and faced a fine of up to £20,000 for attaching an air conditioning unit to the side of the building without permission. Drawing and Planning initially applied for 'full planning permission' for the installation, but after dialogue with the council it was relocated to the rear of the ground floor so as not to be visible to the neighbours and the revised application was granted.
