New dwelling is a net exporter of energy.

A pair of existing and disused agricultural buildings had recently received planning permission under Local Policy DM27 of the Local Plan (similar to the commonly known Class Q). We were appointed to enhance the approved schemes through 2 new applications to knock down and rebuild instead of utilising the existing structures. The outcome is approval for a pair of new dwellings for a father and son and their respective families.

After a 12 month delay, this replacement dwelling in Welcombe has been approved at appeal. The stream, which runs alongisde the dwelling, is a sensitive corroridor for wildlife (bats and otters) and we sensitively worked with ecological and lighting consultants to mitigate the impacts on the site and those who occupy it.
