Challenge

Creating a spacious new build house on a small infill plot while navigating the council’s strict planning requirements. Plus, we had to ensure the design maintained the streetscene and preserved the neighbours' access to natural light and privacy.

Approach

Pursuing a pre-application and working cooperatively with the planning officers to develop a sensitive design, justify the proposal, and create the greatest chance of securing approval.

Solution

In the end, we secured planning permission for a four-bedroom detached house. The finely crafted design makes the most of an underutilised space, while also adding a touch of sparkle to the streetscene with thoughtful attention to massing, setbacks, amenity space, parking provisions, and biodiversity.

After

Proposed ground floor layout of a new build detached house on an infill plot in the London Borough of Redbridge. This architectural floor plan showcases an efficient design featuring a spacious open-plan living and dining area with direct access to a private rear garden, a well-appointed kitchen, a ground-floor bedroom, and a conveniently located bathroom. The layout maximises the use of the compact urban plot, balancing functionality with privacy and comfort.
