⭐️ Project Progress ⭐️

April 28th, 2026

We obtained Planning Approval in May 2023 and then retained for Principal Designer Services in January 2025, with construction works starting on site in April last year.

We revisited the site last week and were delighted to see these 7 new family homes, in Somerset, approaching completion, and the developer providing a high finish and spec internally.

⭐️ Project Progress ⭐️

February 13th, 2026

This beautiful Grade II Listed thatched cobb home suffered a significant collapse to one end, following a severe storm last year.

Appointed in the summer, we supported our client through the planning and building control processes, securing the necessary permissions to carry out the repair and reinstatement works.

We revisited the site this week and were delighted to see the project progressing well — despite the persistent rain and renewed flooding in the village. It’s fantastic to see such care and craftsmanship on display, with exceptional detailing by the thatchers, skilled stone masons, and lime plastering specialists.

⭐️ Planning Approval – New Childrens Nursery⭐️

January 27th, 2026

Working with DHPC planning consultants, who submitted the planning application, we are delighted that the local authority reached a positive decision and granted planning approval, for the change of use from residential to Childrens nursery. The site in Poole, is an existing detached house, with a new bungalow in the rear, and the proposals are to convert both areas into a nursery for the successful Muddy Boots Nursery Group.

Delighted to work with Darryl Howells and wish the client every success with the new venture.

At MDS Ltd, we pride ourselves on professionalism, high standards, and never compromising on quality, integrity or value for money.

We also work with a trusted network of specialists to build the perfect team for your project — planning, ecology, heritage, energy, tree consultants + structural & civil engineers.

No project is too small, and we will always give you the right advice. Every project, big or small, gets our full attention, careful thought, and guidance through planning and building regulations. The first two weeks of January has seen three such smaller projects get planning and building regulation approvals – Detached Agricultural Storage Barn, Bungalow Extension & Alterations and Listed Building Alterations and Refurbishment.

We still hear far too many horror stories about poor-quality service elsewhere…
But at MDS Ltd, we pride ourselves on professionalism, high standards, and never compromising on quality, integrity or value for money.

⭐️ Another Happy Client ⭐️

December 15th, 2025

Earlier this year, we helped out a client with professional advice and guidance on a small domestic project – a new double garage, with chicken coop. Whilst planning & buildings regulations were not necessary, a quick site visit and sketch plans were requested, to give the builder something to work to. No project is too small, and we will always give you the right advice. Every project, big or small, gets our full attention, careful thought, and guidance through planning and building regulations.

⭐️ Another new home, another happy client ⭐️

October 21st, 2025

⭐️ Another new home, another happy client ⭐️

We obtained planning permission to sever this plot and create a new semi-detached house, back in 2023. Then, after providing the building regulation drawings, the client took on the project management and build of the house themselves. Bumped into them whilst walking the dog last week and got invited in to see the almost completed works. Still needs some carpets and final finishing touches, but otherwise looks great.

Maybe we can help you with your site, so why not give Simon at Morgan Design Studio a call, or drop him an email. We can offer an honest, personal and friendly approach to your project, large or small, from feasibility through all stages of planning & design, and assist through the construction phase, bringing in other consultants, to compliment the design team and make your projects happen.

Another happy client. From dreams to reality.
