Challenge
Securing approval for a mansard extension in a conservation area to enhance the home's internal layout, facilitate quality accommodation in the basement, and incorporate a roof terrace for outdoor entertaining.
Approach
Initiating a pre-application process with the council to refine our plans, developing a neo-Georgian mansard design that complements neighbourhood character while incorporating an innovative dummy mansard to create a discreet roof terrace with retractable cover.
Solution
Gaining planning approval for a high-quality mansard extension that fits flawlessly with surrounding buildings, vastly improving the quality of the living accommodation for the residing family.
