Planning Approval for Detached Bungalow

Thursday, April 3rd, 2025

Planning Approval for Detached Bungalow

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating a new 2 bed detached bungalow in Lytchett Matravers. This has been a lengthy planning application process, some 9 months from time of registration, and following a refusal for a similar scheme back in 2022. We carefully considered all reasons for refusal, and made amendments to the scheme, and addressed the BNG and Nitrates policies. A lot of effort for a small bungalow, 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

Monday, 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. 

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.

Build on the “Grey Belt”?

Tuesday, 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?

Planning Approval at Poole Quay

Friday, February 26th, 2021

Delighted to have obtained planning permission this week for a development of office space and 8no: 1 bed flats on the site of a former Public House at Poole Quay. We worked with our colleagues at Pure Town Planning, and despite a lengthy application period, perseverance and communication/negotiation with the planning officers allowed them to reach a delegated officer decision for approval.
