We’re delighted to share that Dorset Council approved the application for a Variation of Condition, allowing changes to a scheme for a first floor extension to a property in Blandford Forum. 

Construction works are progressing rapidly on site and we look forward to seeing the project completed over the coming months.

⭐️ Planning Approval Secured – Lucy’s Blandford ⭐️

Thursday, 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.

✨Morgan Design Studio✨

Tuesday, July 7th, 2026

Too many homeowners and clients rush into a project without fully understanding what’s required. That invariably leads to delays, unexpected costs, or having to undo work that’s already been paid for. Before you start any project large or small, ask yourself:

❓Do I need planning permission or is it permitted development?

❓Have I considered the Building Regulations requirements?

❓Have I considered the Building Safety Act or know what my duties are under the CDM Regulations?

❓What is the Party Wall Act and does it affect what I want to do?

❓Will I need any other reports or surveys?

❓Just what is needed and how much will it all cost and who can deal with it all for me?

 

For ANY construction project, large or small, they ALL require competent, professional, qualified and experienced designers in place from the inception of construction projects. 

 Let ✨Morgan Design Studio✨help you from the outset — dedicated to working diligently to realise our clients’ expectations and requirements.

⭐️ Project Progress ⭐️

Tuesday, 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.

Construction of two floors on top of existing part three storey, one floor on part four storey building to create six additional self-contained residential units including provision of shared rooftop amenity spaces; and associated internal and external alterations.

Although submitted back in November 2024, Ealing Council required numerous reports to support this application and some carefully considered negotiation with the planning consultant Neil Jones (www.nljonesplanning.com) – but they have today Granted with some conditions.
