Happy Client & Planning Approval

December 3rd, 2024

Planning Approval

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating a new 5 bed, 3500sqft detached house in Essex. Thanks to Chelmsford City Council and the other design team members for seeing this approved in just over the 8 weeks standard period.

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.

Another Planning Approval

November 29th, 2024

Planning Approval

We are delighted to confirm that we received planning permission for internal alterations to create an additional 2 bedroom holiday cottage in Lytchett Matravers. Followers of MDS will recall that we obtained permission for this site back in 2018, and were involved in the construction phase during 2021/2022. The client is running a very successful holiday cottage business, and we were tasked with creating a third unit, within the footprint of the carport and storage areas. 

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.

Build on the “Grey Belt”?

July 9th, 2024

Sensible idea – one that’s been discussed (and dismissed) before, but definitely one that we should support. It could unlock building potential in a lot of areas. The new Government has plans to allow development on the existing “Grey Belt” areas. Interesting read on the BBC news website. What are your thoughts?

Throwback Thursday

April 18th, 2024

Throwback Thursday

10 years ago, we obtained planning permission for the demolition of a pair of bungalows, in Lytchett Matravers, and redevelopment with 5 new 3 bedroom cottages. One being an unusual round thatched building that formed this corner plot. The concept, feasibility, design, planning and building regulation process took the best part of 18 months, but our carefully considered design, professional yet friendly approach, and help from our tree, ecology and planning colleagues, meant we were able to present our client with an approval for this scheme and get them on site as swiftly as possible. The building works were completed around 12 months later. Another happy developer and more family homes provided. From dreams to reality.

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday

9 years ago, we received planning permission for the demolition of a detached run down bungalow, in Upton, and the redevelopment with 3 new detached 3 bedroom cottages. One being a thatched finish. The concept, feasibility, design, planning and building regulation process took the best part of 12 months, but our carefully considered design, professional yet friendly approach, and help from our tree, ecology and planning colleagues, meant we were able to present our client with an approval for this scheme and get them on site as swiftly as possible. The building works were completed around 12 months later. Another happy developer and more family homes provided. From dreams to reality.

Dolphin Centre Adult Education Facilities

August 21st, 2023

We made a final site visit to the Dolphin centre in Poole recently to carry out an end of 12 months defects inspection. The project was the relocation of the Oakdale Adult Education facilities into a bespoke refurbishment of redundant shop units within the Dolphin Centre Building. It was completed in August 2022, and has been up and running since last September. The new facilities have been extensively used and seen hundreds of classes run, and yet still look in amazing condition, and are very much appreciated by  BCP Council and all that use the new Adult Ed Facilities.
