⭐️ Project Progress ⭐️

February 13th, 2026

This beautiful Grade II Listed thatched cobb home suffered a significant collapse to one end, following a severe storm last year.

Appointed in the summer, we supported our client through the planning and building control processes, securing the necessary permissions to carry out the repair and reinstatement works.

We revisited the site this week and were delighted to see the project progressing well — despite the persistent rain and renewed flooding in the village. It’s fantastic to see such care and craftsmanship on display, with exceptional detailing by the thatchers, skilled stone masons, and lime plastering specialists.

Morgan Design Studio — dedicated to working hard to realise our clients’ expectations and requirements. ✨

⭐️ Planning Approvals⭐️

January 13th, 2026

No project is too small, and we will always give you the right advice. Every project, big or small, gets our full attention, careful thought, and guidance through planning and building regulations. The first two weeks of January has seen three such smaller projects get planning and building regulation approvals – Detached Agricultural Storage Barn, Bungalow Extension & Alterations and Listed Building Alterations and Refurbishment.

We still hear far too many horror stories about poor-quality service elsewhere…

⭐️ Another Happy Client ⭐️

December 15th, 2025

Earlier this year, we helped out a client with professional advice and guidance on a small domestic project – a new double garage, with chicken coop. Whilst planning & buildings regulations were not necessary, a quick site visit and sketch plans were requested, to give the builder something to work to. No project is too small, and we will always give you the right advice. Every project, big or small, gets our full attention, careful thought, and guidance through planning and building regulations.

⭐️ Another new home, another happy client ⭐️

October 21st, 2025

⭐️ Another new home, another happy client ⭐️

We obtained planning permission to sever this plot and create a new semi-detached house, back in 2023. Then, after providing the building regulation drawings, the client took on the project management and build of the house themselves. Bumped into them whilst walking the dog last week and got invited in to see the almost completed works. Still needs some carpets and final finishing touches, but otherwise looks great.

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 for Additional Flats

⭐️ Planning Approval for Additional Flats

Another happy client, another planning approval. 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.

Another happy client. From dreams to reality.

⭐️ Planning Approval for Detached House

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.

Another happy client. From dreams to reality.

Bats in the Attic

May 8th, 2025

We went out to this site in the beautiful village of Fontmell back in February to meet with the client and discuss repair works to the detached stables barn accommodation, that had sadly suffered some severe fire damage in December. Thankfully no-one was injured, but the northern end of the building suffered damage, to the roof, Timber A Frames and timber floor.

Repair works started on site at the beginning of April, and I popped back out to meet the Ecologist, Client and Builder last week to see progress. Fascinating talking to the ecologist about the different bats in the area, and interesting to learn about all the procedures we had to have in place, and mitigation measures in line with requirements from Annex D of the licensing process, following a non-licence method statement and under supervision of a suitably qualified ecologist. Let’s hope that all the efforts we are making in the repair works will encourage the bats to return once works are complete.

Another happy client—turning visions into reality.
