PLANNING GRANTED : TONY HOLT DESIGN NEW BUILD IN NORTH DORSET

We are thrilled to have secured planning consent for this contemporary replacement dwelling in a sensitive rural location in North Dorset.

The LPA originally refused our original proposals in September 2019 with reasons focused around the increase in mass and bulk when compared the existing dwelling. We challenged the LPA on this, and following consultation agreed on a proposal that would be supported and we made a re-submission in December 2019. Surprisingly, only minor concessions were required, and we argued that the existing dwelling actually caused harm to the character of the area and in contrast our proposals would help promote the standards of design in the area generally.

The site and original dwelling are set in a prominent location in the open countryside enjoying some stunning distant views across fields and woodlands. The new design takes influence from the agricultural buildings within its immediate context adopting vernacular materials including timber and metal, applied to the envelope using modern methods creating a building of its time.

The proposals successfully replace an existing 1960’s 100m² chalet bungalow with a luxury 390m² dwelling with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large garage, workshop and annexe.
