Construction underway on new dwelling in Kirk Langley

PDP_New dwelling at Kirk Langley

Planning & Design Practice had the pleasure of designing, achieving planning permission, and obtaining building regulations approval, for a two-bedroom bungalow in the grounds of a property in Kirk Langley, Derbyshire.

The proposed materials are in keeping with the local vernacular, utilising stone headers and sills and traditional red brick to give the site frontage a traditional feel, whilst utilising more contemporary styling including large floor to ceiling aluminium framed windows and doors to the rear of the property. The addition of a large apex window to the living area will create a large open, naturally lit living space and incorporate Biophilic principles to help solidify the attachment to the countryside. This will also flood the kitchen/diner with natural light.

The construction stage is now underway and the building will soon start to take shape.

New Dwelling Granted in Kirk Langley Conservation Area

Planning & Design Practice have secured planning permission for the replacement of an existing barn with a new dwelling in the Kirk Langley conservation area.

Kirk Langley is a village a few miles northwest of Derby. Back in 2017 a scheme was approved to replace a steel framed barn with a high-quality, contemporary new dwelling on the exact same footprint. The client then sought to make some changes to the approved scheme, the most significant of which was the addition of a basement level to the building.

The impact of the development on heritage assets was a key consideration as the site is located in a conservation area and in close proximity to a listed building. The council agreed that the high quality design of the building meant that it would not materially harm the significance of these heritage assets.

We look forward to seeing the building take shape in due course.
