Approved: Extension to Student Accommodation In Bournemouth
Design & Development Associates have secured full planning consent for an extension of a 4 bedroom student let into a 6 bedroom student accommodation. The increase of two rooms was achieved via a 6 meter rear extension and re-model of the existing property to make the maximum use of space. The extension will allow for site maximisation while not causing an adverse effect on local residents. It was for this reason the council approved the plans under delegated powers. The works to the student accommodation have now been programmed in over the summer holidays to ensure there is impact on the existing students, while ensuring next years students have a completely refurbished property.

Approved: Loft Conversion in Corfe Mullen
Design & Development Associates have secured another stunning loft conversion in Corfe Mullen. The client approached us through a recommendation by a local contractor who we gained planning permission for at the end of last year, and wanted us to look at the options for a loft conversion to his property. The existing site is a split level property, and on assessment we recommended raising the ridge height and changing the direction of the ridge in order to create the required habitable accommodation. The raising of ridge height requires planning permission so we undertook a measured survey and produced existing and proposed floor plans and elevations for the councils consideration. Once submitted the application took the standard eight weeks for the council to issue the planning approval and work is due to commence over the summer.

Approved: Single Storey Extension in Bournemouth
Design & Development Associates have secured a Certificate of Lawful Development for a single storey extension in Pine Road, Bournemouth. The client, who was looking to extend their home to create a large kitchen living dining room, approach us through recommendation for some design input. On undertaking the initial consultation we suggested a few design options and were instructed to produce the design that no only met the client’s needs, but also had consideration for the existing structure. Our site assessment revealed that the proposal would fall under permitted development and therefore we recommended a certificate of lawful development. This certificate is issued by the council and is legally binding stating that the works are permitted development and no enforcement action will be taken. Design & Development Associates always recommends obtaining this certificate before works commence for additional security. Once the certificate was obtained we then obtain quotes for Building Control and Structural Engineers so works can commence on site without delay. The winning building control agency was MC Plan & Site Services and the instructed engineer was M W S Structural.

Double Approval in Norwich Avenue Bournemouth
Design & Development Associates have recently secured approval for a two storey extension and a Certificate of Lawful Development for a single storey side extension. The client approached us through recommendation to design both a single storey side extension and a two storey side extension. On our initial consultation our architectural designers deduced that the single storey extension could be constructed under permitted development, while the two storey extension required a planning application. We prepared both applications and submitted to Bournemouth Borough Council for review. The application for the single storey extension was approved and the council asked for a change to the two storey extension to amend the window design. We promptly amended to the councils request and the scheme was approved under delegated powers.

Approved: Two Storey Extension in Poole
Design & Development Associates have recently secured approval for a two storey side extension & a rear single storey extension. The client wanted to create additional habitable space for an enlarged kitchen, downstairs living space and new bedrooms at first floor level. The client had previously engaged another local architect to produce plans but unfortunately failed to deliver the client’s dream design. We were recommended to undertake a new planning application and on undertaking a consultation with the client their preferred design quickly became apparent. We were instructed to prepare the plans and our initial proposal was as per the client’s wishes. We promptly submitted these plans and they were subsequently approved without alteration by the local authority. Once approved, Design & Development Associates were also instructed to prepare the working drawings. This compromises of a structural engineers design and a building regulation plan produced by the architect which is then checked by Building Control.

Approved: Certificate of Lawful Development for a Loft Conversion In Ferndown
Design & Development Associates have recently secured approval for a rear extension with a hip to gable loft conversion. The client wanted to maximise the potential of their property under the permitted development tolerances to create a large ground floor kitchen living diner and a new master bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en-suite.
