Planning

We have recently completed a pre-planning consultation and analysis for a new contemporary off-grid home in rural Warwickshire, working closely with architects Blee Halligan to optimise the design and increase the energy efficiency to Passivhaus standards.

By balancing the heat gains and losses through the glazing we were able to maintain substantial views across the neighbouring farmland while keeping the high levels of internal comfort that comes with Passivhaus.

Planning permission has been granted for this remodelling of and extension to a 1980s dormer bungalow in Pembury, near Tunbridge Wells in Kent. The design features a new open plan living, dining and cooking space with additional and extended bedrooms, partly clad in timber. Construction is due to start later this year.
