Planning Approval for 2 new detached houses

March 17th, 2025

Planning Approval for 2 new detached houses

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating 2 new 4 bed, 1400sqft detached houses in North Dorset. This has been a lengthy planning application process, some 18 months from time of registration. We have needed detailed lighting strategy reports, detailed slow worm and bat surveys, and negotiations over the Biodiversity Net gain. All having to be carefully designed around the ecological requirements of the site and detailed approval from Natural England. But, we got there through our careful and considered approach, negotiation skills and management.

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.

Planning Approval North Dorset

March 3rd, 2025

Planning Approval

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating a new 3 bed, 1000sqft detached house in North Dorset. Thanks to Dorset Council for turning this one round quickly. This was a Variation of Condition Application, seeking approval for Removal or Variation of a Condition following Grant of Planning Permission. Our client purchased this site with a planning permission for a new dwelling. But there were some changes requested to the original approved layout, to make the scheme more viable, and property more saleable in line with current market fluctuations and requirements. The changes also allowed us to improve the parking/turning arrangements on site for vehicles, making access/egress safer.

Another happy client. From dreams to reality.

One of the largest increases in planning application fees is coming into force from 1st April 2025.

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.

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.
