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.

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.  

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 North Dorset

Monday, March 3rd, 2025

Planning Approval

Another happy client, another planning approval. This time creating a new 3 bed, 1000sqft detached house in North Dorset. Thanks to Dorset Council for turning this one round quickly. This was a Variation of Condition Application, seeking approval for  Removal or Variation of a Condition following Grant of Planning Permission. Our client purchased this site with a planning permission for a new dwelling. But there were some changes requested to the original approved layout, to make the scheme more viable, and property more saleable in line with current market fluctuations and requirements. The changes also allowed us to improve the parking/turning arrangements on site for vehicles, making access/egress safer.

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.
