The office is currently very busy with many projects on-going over the last year ranging from planning and listed building consents through to making a start on site. A project has recently started on site near Woking for a replacement dwelling, footings are well underway. An extension to a house in Taunton has recently been completed after the contractor continued to work through all of last year. Similarly, a house extension was completed in Henley at the end of last year (please see photos below).
We have also recently obtained planning and listed building consent for an extension to a curtilage grade II barn in Curry Rivel and some new entrance gates, barn alterations and internal alteration to a Grade II* Manor House in Fivehead.
A third and final dwelling is also about to commence on a site in Martinstown, Dorset, completing the development.
