DEMOLITION OF 50s BUNGALOW AND ERECTION OF PROPOSED DWELLING, AUCHTERARDER
PLANNING VALIDATED JUNE 2023
Initially submitted with a single storey extension, the Planning Officer suggested the demolition of the existing bungalow and replacing it with a 2 storey dwelling. Following a PreApp Enquiry, we submitted the final plans for Full Planning in June 2023.
The PreApp Response requested massing and aesthetics to match the existing vernacular of the street, including traditional materials.
The new National Planning Framework 4 had to be addressed along with the Local Development Plan.

PROPOSED NEW DWELLING, FIFE
The design of this house has been tweaked and is now ready to submit for Planning approval.
As with a lot of new development proposals and extensions in Fife, the Coal Authority required a Risk Assessment to be carried out which in turn has led to the requirement for borehole drilling, including gas monitoring.
Once we have the final reports, we will be good to go.

INTERNAL ALTERATIONS TO GROUND FLOOR FLAT, STOCKBRIDGE - APRIL 2022
Although Planning approval is not required for this project, Listed Building Consent is required as the property is Listed - Category B.
Internal alterations include swapping the current Bedroom and Living Room locations and moving the existing Shower Room from the end of the existing Kitchen to increase the space in the Kitchen. By swapping the apartments over, the client can see her own garden from the Living Room rather than the first floor flat's garden, allowing more privacy.
The alterations include the installation of slimline double glazing into new sashes, subject to Listed Building Consent.

PROPOSED WORKSHOP, MENSTRIE - MAY 2022
The client requires a workshop for her business that she runs out of her home at present.
Domestic workshops and sheds generally fall under Permitted Development and depending on size and content do not require a Building Warrant. In this instance Planning is required as the workshop is in the garden facing the street. Building Warrant is required due to the overall height of the retaining wall from foundation level.
Currently in for Planning approval and awaiting the outcome before Building Warrant is applied for.
