Replacement Dwelling in Maldon Granted Planning Permission
Our planning consultants have secured planning permission for a replacement dwelling in the rural area of Maldon, Essex.
Our clients want to build their home. To facilitate this self-build project, they bought a bungalow in large plot. The property itself was located within a small cluster of residential dwellings, but located in a countryside location and outside of a defined settlement boundary.
The surrounding properties are all two storeys in height and set within similar sized plots, whilst the existing bungalow occupies a significantly smaller footprint than many of its neighbours. This presented our clients with an excellent opportunity to secure planning permission for a replacement dwelling that would be much larger in size than the existing dwelling and more comparable to the neighbouring properties.
By presenting robust evidence and justification, we were able to demonstrate that although significantly larger than the bungalow it would replace, the form of a two storey dwelling would be in keeping with the surrounding form of dwellings and would positively enhance the amenities and character of the landscape in which it is situated.
The overall design concept sought a traditional country residence that embraced the rural Essex vernacular. The design of the building incorporated appropriate design features which would break up this additional bulk and reduce its impact, for example, through the use of chimneys and single storey elements. A substantial cartlodge style garage was also proposed and complemented the proposed house.
The loose square form of the main building created a very functional and flexible internal environment that will allow the building to adapt with the occupiers of the buildings.
This replacement dwelling has the allowed our clients to embark on the project of building their own home to suit the needs and aspirations.
