In addition to this the client wanted a soundproofed utility for the noisy white goods. We undertook a design for the rear extension and due to matching the ceiling heights, the overall height of the extension was outside the scope of permitted development.

Approved: New first floor added to a Bungalow in Poole
Design & Development Associates have secured consent for a bungalow to be converted into a house in the popular Pound Lane in Poole. The client initially wanted to have a loft conversion to add two further bedrooms and a living area to their property in Oakdale. Upon undertaking an assessment however, it become apparent that the bungalow could be turned into a house due to its position within the street scene. By converting into a house, the client benefited from doubling the floor area of the property, and had no restricted head height like conventional loft conversions. Plans were prepared for this conversion and submitted as a householder planning application to the Borough of Poole. In the Planning Officers report she stated ‘the development would respect the character of other properties in Pound Lane by virtue of its design, scale and proposed materials…it would integrate well into the street scene.’ For this reason the scheme was approved within the 8 week target decision time. The proposal is now being constructed by Ozone Developments and works are due to be completed by the end of the summer.

Approved: Two Storey Front and Side Extension in Ferndown

The client wanted to overhaul their property and turn the current three bedroom bungalow into a spacious 5 bedroom contemporary property. They wanted a large/kitchen/living dining area with a separate snug reception room on ground floor with four double bedrooms (three with en-suites) at first floor.

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.

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.
