Single Storey Extension gets Planning consent: Liss, Hampshire

ADS' design for a new timber framed, larch clad, single storey extension in Liss, Hampshire has been granted planning permission by South Downs National Park Planning authority.
The approvals process was a complex one, involving a tree survey report to assess possible damage to a nearby 92 year old, protected lime tree.  It was shown that by careful construction and innovative design solutions a successful resolution could be achieved that presented the client with high quality addtional space whilst respecting the local landscape and planting.

The design uses 90mm larch slats, clad to the external envelope, recessed concertina door reveals and a rendered external post for structural purposes that supports the planted green roof and atrium roof light.  Internally a wood-burner and a new open plan kitchen / day room provide a simple, yet refined living area that offers transit and connection to the sloped garden exterior deck.

Aldwick Planning granted



Planning Consent has been granted for our design for 6 new 1 and 2 bedroom flats in Aldwick, West Bognor Regis.  The application to convert a former residential care home underwent some revisions on advic from planners and subject to community consultation.
The design uses horizontal timber cladding and render systems as well as a complete re-roofing of the entire structure including green roof areas to the back of the previously extended flat roof elements.
To avoid asphalting the parking and access provision, a heavy duty polymer mesh will be laid through which local grasses can florish,adding to the beach front atmosphere of the plot.
Recessed window reveals and projecting balconies in matching timber complete the conversion which is expected to offer high-end single and dual occupancy accomodation for professionals or retired owners.
