Planning & Design Practice Ltd are pleased to announce that planning permission has been secured for the construction of an outbuilding in North East Derbyshire. The building will act as ancillary residential accommodation to the existing dwelling and will primarily provide a storage area for the client to store vintage vehicles.
In line with our clients brief the Architectural Team, in collaboration with the Planning Team, prepared a scheme that would sit comfortably within the curtilage of the existing dwelling and not have an overbearing presence on local area. The scheme took into consideration the potential impact on the character of the area and the amenity of the neighbours. These considerations informed the final scheme.
The proposed building contained a vehicle storage area, home office, gym and a workshop and will be steel framed, with timber and brick cladding and a sheet metal roof.
The Planning system supports the construction of outbuildings and ancillary accommodation by householders where the buildings are used in conjunction with the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. The General Permitted Development Order 2015, as amended, allows residents to cover up to half the garden in outbuildings without planning permission but subject to height limitations. The application for planning permission was required because of the proposed height and the proximity to the boundary.
