When purchased by our client, the site had planning consent for 2 flats to a low standard of design. This was our first project for this client and we were originally asked to implement this consent. I suggested that we could do better, and prepared an alternative scheme to make better use of the site, significantly improving the appearance of the development. The successful design solution was for 3 larger apartments, The design improved the relationship with neighbouring properties and makes a more attractive contribution to the local environment whilst increasing the density of the development. The client sold the site on once planning consent for the proposal was obtained. Following the sale of a site for which we obtained planning consent to a new owner, a builder/developer, we were retained by the new owner to prepare working drawings.
