⭐️ Project Revisited – Lytchett Matravers – Poole⭐️

Tuesday, September 29th, 2026

Back in September of 2014 we put together a package of planning and building regulation drawings for severing the large garden of a property in Lytchett Matravers and building a new detached family home for a local developer. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and with views extending towards the Purbecks – this is a lovely property that still looks great.

Simon is committed to delivering professional, high-quality results without ever compromising on integrity or value for money – whatever the project – large or small.

⭐️ Project Revisited – Lilliput – Poole⭐️

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026

Back in the summer of 2018 we put together a package of planning and building regulation drawings for redeveloping and extending this property in Lilliput, Poole.

Great property, in a great location, but needed an overhaul to bring it up to date and reflect the character of the neighbourhood. The owners embraced it and carried out the refurbishment work beautifully.

⭐️ Morgan Design Studio – Project Revisited ⭐️

Monday, September 14th, 2026

In September 2018 we obtained planning and building regulation approvals for our proposals for renovation and extensions to this tired 1960’s chalet bungalow. The whole place was overhauled, and changed from a small 2 bed bungalow into a quality 5 bedroom family home. The client was delighted and building works were completed soon after.

If you’re ready to embark on your next development adventure, don’t hesitate to reach out to Morgan Design Studio for all your architectural, planning and building regulation needs. Let’s build something great together!

⭐️ 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.
