PDP were delighted to help secure planning consent this month for the construction of a new two storey extension to a 19th Century stone cottage in a Derbyshire Dales Conservation Area.
PDP worked alongside architects Pilkington McPhee to provide a sensitive design that met the client’s brief whilst also satisfying the requirements of planning and conservation officers.
The proposed scheme involved extending to both the rear and side of the existing cottage, in order to provide a new master bedroom, bathroom, utility and snug.
Despite the amount of additional internal space being provided, the proposed extension does not detract from the character and appearance of the existing cottage. The rear part of the extension is to replace a couple of small previous additions and will be well hidden between the back of the cottage and a large retaining wall. The side part of the extension will be set back from the front face of the building, and will have lower ridge and eaves levels, ensuring that the visual dominance of the original cottage is preserved.
A design statement was submitted with the application which examined the history of the property and its role within the Conservation Area, and assessed traditional local building practices.
After receiving the support of Council officers the application was approved under delegated powers on 15th July 2010.
