⭐️ 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.

⭐️ Planning Approval for Detached House

Friday, May 23rd, 2025

⭐️ Planning Approval for Detached House

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating a new 4 bed detached house in Lytchett Matravers. We originally obtained planning approval on this site back in 2022, on behalf of a local developer. The site has since been sold to a private client and they wanted to increase the size of the new build and put their own style into the layout. Working with DHPC Planning Consultants, a variation of condition application was submitted and approval granted earlier this week. Look forward to seeing this one going up, in a road where 3 other detached houses designed by us have already been built.

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.

Planning Approval for 2 new detached houses

Monday, 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 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.
