March 2018 – Planning GRANTED in Cornwall

We’ve obtained planning permission for this family home in Cornwall. A refurbishment and large scale extension of an existing bungalow is proposed, which creatively re-uses of the existing structure and services, to minimise waste and help keep construction costs down. The site borders an AONB, so the proposals maximise the expansive views (where the current bungalow did not), whilst improving environmental performance and responding to the expanding accommodation and life style needs of the family.

The scheme is now proceeding towards a start on site.
