Our client aimed to maximise their property’s potential, converting one house into two homes. Though it sounds simple, the process would involve multiple applications, prior approvals, and appeals - not the most straightforward of projects, to say the least.
We began with securing prior approval for a 6m-deep rear extension and a permitted development hip-to-gable loft conversion. After an ambitious attempt to build a separate house in the garden failed, we proposed two final applications: an eight-person HMO and splitting the enlarged house vertically to create two homes. Excitingly, both options were approved, and the client decided to go ahead with the two-house option.
The resulting project replaced the awkward flat roof with an elegant gable roof over both houses. The original house now features a large rear dormer, four bedrooms, and a sizeable annexe, while the new house has one bedroom, a kitchen, and living room, complete with a lovely spacious feel. In the end, our persistence with planning and adaptability in design led to a successful transformation that our client was thrilled with.
