⭐️ Planning Approval Secured – Another happy client ⭐️

September 18th, 2026

We’re delighted to share that Dorset Council approved this planning application within 6 weeks of submission. This gorgeous cottage in the small village of Alweston in North Dorset, will be extended with a contemporary glazed extension, with vaulted ceilings, creating a wow factor kitchen/dining space, and a small porch extension to accommodate the WC and Utility Space. We’ve even created some considered space for the bats within the minimal roof space.  Construction works will start soon – look forward to seeing this one when completed.

Simon is committed to delivering professional, high-quality results without ever compromising on integrity or value for money – whatever the project – large or small.

⭐️ Morgan Design Studio – Project Revisited ⭐️

September 14th, 2026

In September 2018 we obtained planning and building regulation approvals for our proposals for renovation and extensions to this tired 1960’s chalet bungalow. The whole place was overhauled, and changed from a small 2 bed bungalow into a quality 5 bedroom family home. The client was delighted and building works were completed soon after.

If you’re ready to embark on your next development adventure, don’t hesitate to reach out to Morgan Design Studio for all your architectural, planning and building regulation needs. Let’s build something great together!

⭐️ Planning Approval Secured – Leisure Centre Extension ⭐️

September 7th, 2026

We’re delighted to share that BCP Council approved our application for a Two Storey Extension to the Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre in Christchurch, at their August planning committee meeting.  This follows on from our initial feasibility studies at this site, started 5 years ago, and numerous cost appraisals, and more recently – many months of investigations and compiling supporting information. Thanks to everyone involved, such as, GTree Ltd, ACS Land Investigations, KP Ecology, The Landscape Service, Godsell Arnold Partnership, and many others. And many thanks to the BCP Planning Officer and her team for their cooperation and commitment, in working with us to get this across the finishing line.

⭐️ Project Revisited – SW2 London Borough of Lambeth ⭐️

August 4th, 2026

Back in February 2020 we put together a package of planning drawings for redeveloping this site in the London Borough of Lambeth. The 0.9Ha site consisted of three pre-fabricated single storey buildings, that previously offered rehabilitation to young people, but had been vacated for some time. Working as a team with Planning, Tree, Highways, Landscape and Ecology consultants, planning approval was granted in November 2020. The site was sold with the benefit of planning, and the construction side was dealt with by others, but the new scheme now complete and occupied, follows the planning design and has created 4no: 5 bedroom family homes, and a Class D1 community facility.

⭐️ Planning Approval Secured – Lucy’s Blandford ⭐️

July 23rd, 2026

We’re delighted to share that Dorset Council approved the application for new windows and kitchen extract unit, allowing Lucy’s Blandford to relocate within Tabernacle Walk in Blandford Forum. Lucy’s Blandford is a local business, established in Unit 8 Tabernacle Walk in 2017. It is a family run business, offering brunch, tea, coffee, homemade cakes, with seating inside & outside and a takeaway service available. It has successfully grown and established itself as a primary location for many locals and visitors to Blandford. As part of its growth it wishes to move across Tabernacle Walk  into units 2 and 3, which will give a bigger space from which to operate. 

Despite it being a relatively simple proposal, it still required a planning application, and that in itself wasn’t without it’s difficulties and delays through the LPA requiring bat surveys, and the Environmental & Conservation Officers raising some concerns that required swift and suitable responses. Nonetheless, at MDS Ltd, we’re committed to delivering professional, high-quality results without ever compromising on integrity or value for money – and are delighted we managed to obtain the approval for Lucy, and wish her continuing success.
