The client will have a stunning new extension and landscaping, with our stepped design for his garden.
Brief for Extension and Landscaping
Our client came to us – following a referral from one of our flagship project clients – for a single storey in-fill extension and landscaping, garage conversion to a new kitchen, internal reconfiguration works to ground and first floor, and for the garden design it was to be a split-level design with 3D Visualisation.
The Project Trail for Extension and Landscaping Project
The client has a 4 bed house, and this project was for a single storey infill extension to square off the L shape created by the garage footprint (which was converted-to-a-kitchen). He also wanted internal work to create new floors and a new bathroom on the first floor, and on the ground floor he had a new kitchen, new open living space, utility room and shower room.
3D Visual renders are effective for convincing planning officers that an extension and landscaping will not be contentious..
We did landscaping to create a stunning design for his split level garden. (Incidentally, planning permission is usually required to raise or lower your garden level, unless it is a nominal change, although you can have a decked platform of up to 30cm high without the need for permission. If your platform is to be higher, it would need to be included in the application.)
The family are having a new kitchen over the garage footprint, and an in-fill extension to box off the L shape, giving a larger open living space.
Pre-build
After our agreed extension
and landscaping designs gained planning
approval, our client continued with us to the
pre-build stage for Building Control, so we created more
detailed Building Regulations drawings for his extension. He
also instructed us for support with his construction phase,
so we did Tender Packs and Contract Administration to
manage the builder interaction, costing, payments etc. The
project has been completed and the contingency
issues are being finalised
with the builder.

We would also suggest the Pre-planning Application route, in the event of any contention with a proposal. (This used to be called ‘outline planning permission’. See the Pre-app section on the Planning Portal for more details.)
With us you can understand why you will need to satisfy the Building Control department of your local council, even for a small single storey rear or side extension. The council’s planning application fees will be set out clearly for you, to which we don’t add VAT. We offer to submit your application and liaise with officers on your behalf for no extra charge.
