Planning Fee Increase

Tuesday, January 21st, 2025

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

Planning is never easy, and there now seems to be far more involved with reports, surveys, forms and financial contributions. A link to the planning portal pdf showing the increases is shown below.

Let Morgan Design Studio help you move through the planning maze. 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.

From dreams to reality.

Another Planning Approval

Friday, 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.

Throwback Thursday

Friday, April 12th, 2024

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

Monday, 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.

Small jobs count too!

Friday, May 21st, 2021

Working with Blandford Town Council and the Conservation Officer, we were pleased to have completed the project at the Town Hall Corn Exchange Building to replace a tired, broken and damaged roof lantern, with a new bespoke, double glazed Heritage Style roof light. Even small projects still need time and effort to get them over the line and complete to plan, time and budget. Its all in the detail.
