Bats in the Attic

Thursday, 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.

Somerset – New Housing Development

Tuesday, April 15th, 2025

Excited to see this project officially break ground! Planning approval was secured in 2023 for the demolition of an existing pub and outbuildings, making way for 7 new homes complete with associated access and parking.

We’re proud to be retained as Principal Designer for this timber frame development, which kicked off last week with demolition and site preparation now underway.

Another happy client—turning visions into reality.

Planning Approval for Detached Bungalow

Thursday, April 3rd, 2025

Planning Approval for Detached Bungalow

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating a new 2 bed detached bungalow in Lytchett Matravers. This has been a lengthy planning application process, some 9 months from time of registration, and following a refusal for a similar scheme back in 2022. We carefully considered all reasons for refusal, and made amendments to the scheme, and addressed the BNG and Nitrates policies. A lot of effort for a small bungalow, 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 happy client. From dreams to reality.

Planning Approval for 2 new detached houses

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.

Throwback Thursday

Thursday, April 18th, 2024

Throwback Thursday

10 years ago, we obtained planning permission for the demolition of a pair of bungalows, in Lytchett Matravers, and redevelopment with 5 new 3 bedroom cottages. One being an unusual round thatched building that formed this corner plot. The concept, feasibility, design, planning and building regulation process took the best part of 18 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.

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.
