Planning Permission granted for a substantial extension of a grand house in the West Midlands green belt
MRT and the owners’ family are delighted with the Detailed Planning Permission granted for a substantial extension of a grand house in the West Midlands green belt.
MRT were asked to step in to see if a previous planning refusal by others and an appeal dismissal could be overturned.
The proposal, inspired by the setting, was a design-led approach with a traditional design of stone, handmade bricks and clay tiles which complement this large country house. Planning Permission was granted with few conditions for a kitchen, utility, food caterers’ preparation room, gym, an extensive bedroom suite above with balcony overlooking the parkland garden setting and the open countryside of the green belt.
Planning permission to extend by 30% in the Greenbelt
Briardene, is a heart-warming bungalow in a rural setting of Beausale within the Greenbelt. We are delighted that we have gained Planning Permission to extend by 30% of the existing property area.
The proposed design to this project has been influenced by the ‘Arts & Crafts’ movement, by the use of substantial timbers and render with heritage colours to enhance the character of the property.
We’re looking forward to making the alterations and coordinating the build on site to transform the property into beautiful home for our Client.
Beautiful stone bungalow set to be extended
MRT Architects have gained Planning permission for this beautiful Cottage near Bidford-on-Avon a beautiful stone bungalow in a rural setting. The property has permission to build rear and side extensions, and to create dormer windows in order to facilitate a loft conversion. Further internal alterations are proposed in order to create a lovely flow through the property.
The bungalow is situated on a quiet no-through lane near to Bidford Grange golf course, in a large garden surrounded by farmland.
The bungalow was purchased by our clients to be their forever home. The property is quite tired looking both internally and externally and will now be updated to suit the lifestyle of our clients and to bring out the existing beautiful features and to further improve the spaces by the way of extending the property to fuse into the landscape.
