Approved: Four New Dwellings On Castle Lane West
Design & Development Associates have secured planning permission for four new dwellings in Castle Lane West, Bournemouth. The applicant approached us after securing a retrospective planning permission for two flats at the neighbouring property at 214 Castle Lane West and wanted to demolish the existing bungalow and build 4 x 2 bedrooms flats. Design & Development Associates under took a pre-application for the scheme and met the planning officer in person to discuss the proposal and establish the scope of development. The pre-application response was positive and a full planning application was prepared. As part of the full planning application, Design & Development Associated instructed Pure Town Planning to produce a detailed Design & Access Statement to accompany our architectural drawings. The application was submitted and the principal of the design was approved by the planning officer. There was some negotiation required due to the proximity of the bus stop for vehicular access arrangements but these were resolved by a different design of the splay. The application was approved and the applicant is seeking to start works early in 2016. Daniel Rainback, MD said ‘This is a fantastic approval along the vibrant Castle Lane West. We have maximised the site potential and we are providing four spacious flats which is setting a good standard for future housing stock.

Approved: Retrospective Planning Application In Poole
Design & Development Associates have recently secured planning approval for a retrospective planning application for a single storey extension in Canford Heath. The clients were notified that the eaves height of the extension was higher than the existing eaves height of the main dwelling, meaning that the proposal would not fall under permitted development legislation. Due to this technicality, a retrospective householder planning application was required. Design & Development Associates were appointed by recommendation to prepare the architectural drawings for the extension and liaise with the council to ensure the extension was lawful. After quickly preparing the architectural drawings, the application was submitted and talks began with the council to bring this matter to a successful outcome. Daniel Rainback of Design & Development Associates said ‘This is a great result for the client who wanted certainty that the works undertaken on site were lawful.

Hip To Gable Loft Conversion & Rear Extension In Upton
Last year Design & Development Associates obtained a planning approval for a 5 meter rear extension with a hip to gable loft conversion over. The application, which was submitted to Purbeck District Council received a planning approval under delegated powers to great delight to our client. Since this approval, the building work started shortly after and we are pleased to say that it is nearing completion. Attached to this article are images throughout the process from foundations up to second fix. We are pleased to report that the client is thrilled with the finished design and we can add this site to the long list of successful projects we have completed to date. By undertaking these works, the client has benefited from an enlarged lounge/kitchen and a huge master bedroom with an additional bedroom and bathroom at first floor level. These works have transformed the two bedroom bungalow into a fully refurbished four bedroom property. We have seen a huge increase for hip to gable loft conversion and/or rear extension over the past few months. The main reasons they are so popular are: In some cases works fall under Permitted Development; The front elevation can remain unchanged as the majority of works are to the rear; A bungalow can provide up to two additional bedrooms with a bathroom (subject to size); Increase in the ground floor footprint, often meaning a much needed large kitchen/living/diner can be created; With clever design, parts of the existing structure can be utilized in order to keep build costs down. Due to changes in Permitted Development legislation hip to gable loft conversions and rear extensions can now be achieved under permitted development. There are strict caveats to this allowance, for example up to a maximum of 50m3 of additional volume can be created and the first floor extension must not extend further than 3 meters to name but a few.

Approved: Flat Conversion in Bournemouth
Design & Development Associates have recently secured planning approval for the conversion of a three storey Victorian building into flats. The property, based in Charminster, is currently a large residential unit which the client wanted to separate into smaller dwellings. We undertook an initial survey and produced a proposal which achieved the clients requirements with minimal internal & structural alterations. After submitting to the council we successfully handled the Section 106 agreement on behalf of our client, and just escaped the affordable housing contributions which are now active again. After receiving the planning approval, we were then instructed to produce the working drawing package detailing all the building regulations requirements the client must meet in order to receive a Building Control approval.
