Mark Doodes Planning have working strategically to fulfil their client's objective to ultimately erect a new self-build dwelling of significantly greater volume in the London Greenbelt, outside Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Within the Green Belt, government policy seeks to constrain most new Development, making meeting our clients ambitions often hard. For this site, we developed a Permitted Development optimisation strategy, involving three steps to maximise the scale of the existing building, and to de-risk the project in terms of volume.
We worked with award winning William Green Architects to secure planning permission to more than double the size of the existing dwelling by adding an additional storey to the property plus an extension and new porch and the erection of several new outbuildings.
Now that we have de-risked the project in terms of volume, we are working with the Architects once more to design the replacement dwelling. This will be the final stage of the three-phase strategy, which has taken place over two years.
Our approach has postponed the significant design expense until the Permitted Development fall-back positions were secured and in doing so means that the costs associated with this work are less speculative in nature.
The client is delighted with the results and we are excited to continue working on this project to achieve our client's ambitions on phase 3.
