Approved: Single Storey Rear Extension and Rear Dormer in Wimborne
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a single storey rear extension and new rear dormer to a bungalow in Wimborne. The scheme was to undertake a pitched roof rear extension to the existing kitchen to increase habitable space and all important worktop area. In addition to this, our client wanted to increase head space for the two bedrooms and bathroom they have at first-floor level. Our solution was a new rear dormer to increase usable headspace throughout these rooms. To reduce the impact of this dormer, our designers stepped in the dormer from the eaves to look less imposing on the rear elevation, and not to conflict with the pitched roof extension. As the property had been extended historically, Poole Borough Council wanted the proposal to be dealt with via a householder planning application. We undertook a measured survey of the property and produced existing floor plans and elevations to show the council the current arrangement. Once complete, we undertook a design proposal for the new floor plans and elevations and submitted this to the local authority. The scheme was approved 8 weeks later under delegated powers.

Approved: Loft Conversion and Rear Extension in Bournemouth
Design and Development Associates have secured planning consent for a single storey rear extension and loft conversion in Gervis Road, Bournemouth. The scheme was to undertake a single storey pitched roof rear extension and a new loft conversion to the property, in order to increase the living space to the rear and create an office at second floor level. The site had a few constraints to overcome, firstly the site is located within the East Cliff Conservation Area Boundary so any proposal had to enhance and preserve the conservation area. Secondly the site had skewed boundaries to the rear, so no straight building lines could be established. When undertaking our measured survey we carefully plotted on the rear boundaries and produced a design that could incorporate the skew while maximising usable space internally. To be in keeping with the conservation area, we specified conservation veluxes throughout and matched roof tiles to the main house to reduce any potential impact. We submitted plans on behalf of our client as a householder planning application and worked with the local authority to secure the consent for our client. We are now preparing Building Regulation compliant plans and working with engineers so the build can commence at the end of January.

Approved: Front and Rear Extension and a New Hip to Gable Loft Conversion in Corfe Mullen
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a front and rear extension, loft conversion and contemporary re-model to a property in Corfe Mullen Our client wanted to modernise their bungalow and extend into the roof to create additional habitable accommodation. To achieve this, Design and Development Associates proposed raising the eaves level of the bungalow and in-filling the front and rear of the property to create 4 double bedrooms at first floor level and a bathroom. At ground floor level the in-fill extensions allowed for a large kitchen diner with a separate lounge area with views over the rear garden. As part of the re-development, we undertook design changes to the facade of the property to give the property a modern uplift and maximising natural light into the property. We also re-located the front door to allow for more efficient circulation to the property and maximum room space. The proposal required a householder planning application and we, therefore, undertook a measured site survey of the property and produced detailed existing floor plans and elevations to show the council their current arrangement. Once the existing was complete our architectural designers undertook a design proposal which was presented and approved by our client. This was then submitted to East Dorset District Council and subsequently approved under delegated powers.

Approved: Rear Contemporary Re-Model in Wimborne
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a rear contemporary re-model in Wimborne. Our client wanted to remodel and enlarge their existing property to allow for new contemporary living space to a traditionally styled property. To achieve this, Design and Development Associates proposed a new single storey rear extension to accommodate an enlarged living room with patio doors in addition to a contemporary vaulted kitchen/ diner with bi-fold doors. The addition of vaulted glazing above the bi-fold doors will encourage as much natural light as possible. Design & Development Associates proposed to replace the existing rear hip roof with a new gable wall to accommodate for a loft conversion at first floor level adding two bedrooms and a bathroom with dormer windows to the front and side of the property. The downstairs bathroom was relocated next to the existing utility room, connecting into the existing drainage with a replacement pitched roof with a flat top above. Our plans were submitted with 1.8m high screens on either side of the raised patio to reduce the potential overlooking of neighbouring gardens. The property is located within a green belt designated zone, which means the council requested the proposal be dealt with as a householder planning application. We undertook a measured site survey of the property and produced detailed existing floor plans and elevations to show the council their current arrangement. Our design proposal was submitted to the Bournemouth Borough Council and the application was subsequently approved within 8 weeks of submission.

Approved: Single Storey Rear Extension in New Forest
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a single storey rear extension in Milford on Sea.

To achieve this, Design & Development Associates proposed a new single storey flat roof rear extension with large elements of glazing with a feature wrap around glazing element which consists of seamless full height glazing from wall to flat roof back down to the wall. This encourages as much natural light as possible and gives a clear definition between traditional and contemporary. We also incorporated a floor to ceiling triple track sliding door system which will spread across the rear of the kitchen allowing for full view of the garden.

Approved: Alterations and extensions in Bournemouth
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a single storey rear and side wrap around extension. The side extension accommodates a new annexe that connects internally to the existing dwelling ensuring that the proposal will not be utilised as a new independent flat. The annexe will have its own entrance door to give the proposal a sense of separation from the existing dwelling. Our client required independent living space within the annexe. To achieve this we integrated a new kitchen, shower room, utility room and office into our design proposal. The existing kitchen/diner will extend to the rear of the property to become a new contemporary kitchen/living area. Roof lights will be placed around the new ground floor extension to maximize natural light. We undertook a measured site survey of the property and produced detailed existing floor plans and elevations to show the council their current arrangement.

Approved: Alterations and Extensions to Dwelling in Bournemouth
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a first floor extension and single storey in-fill extension in Bournemouth.

This was achieved by replacing the existing pitched roof with new cavity wall to tie in with the existing eaves at first-floor level to create a level ceiling height throughout both bedrooms. At ground level, we extended the existing kitchen in line with the existing sunroom to create one large kitchen/diner with a new sky lantern above to provide natural light. We undertook a measured site survey of the property and produced detailed existing floor plans and elevations to show the council their current arrangement.

Approved: Non-Material Amendments in Poole
Design & Development Associates have secured consent for a non-material amendment to a previously approved householder scheme in Poole. The client was seeking to make amendments from the previously approved plans by changing the size and position of the windows, improving access for disability purposes and to facilitate an internal disability lift. The lift was currently located on the right-hand side of the dwelling leading up into the master bedroom. By changing the location of the lift to the left-hand side of the dwelling and altering the front door position to the front of the house, has given the client the space for an extra storage room & reduces overall build costs. The two bathrooms upstairs have been reduced to one larger bathroom, which allows for a more spacious hallway and a better flow to the communal areas. Design and Development Associated used the previously approved floor plans to make the design changes and submit these to the local authority. The amendments were then approved within 3 weeks of submission.

Approved: Single Storey Rear and Side Extension in Poole
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for a single storey rear and side extension, and alterations to the first floor to increase usable space. The client was looking to extend the rear and side ground floor kitchen/dining area to create a large open plan room. Our proposal was to undertake a mono-pitch extension which could then be linked into the current porch. By forming this link the extension would be hidden from the street scene which would reduce the visual impact of the proposal. They also wanted amendments made to the first floor bedroom which had a catslide roof pitch reducing usable head height. By forming a new extension to this area the head height constraint would be removed and allow better circulation for the occupants of the bedroom. The application was set in the Chester Road Conservation Area a conversation area so a Design & Development Associates prepared an in-house Design & Access & Heritage Statement to support the application. Our design proposal was submitted to the Borough along with the required statements and the application was subsequently approved within 8 weeks of submission.
