Planning

Planning History (PA21/12298)

Under Planning Application Number PA21/12298, an approval was granted in December 2021 to demolish the existing 1985 built detached house and garage to construct a new family home of around 6,900 square feet (641 square metres) that was contextually appropriate and practical, with high quality specifications but of a more traditionally aesthetic external design.

Planning History (PA23/04966)

Simultaneously, sww agreed to the diversion of the public sewer (South West Water Reference Number WR3657087) which enabled a revised house design to be submitted under application Number PA23/04966. Permission was granted on 7th September 2023. The approved design followed the same layout and scale as the initial approved scheme, although there are striking revisions to the appearance of the proposed dwelling including a complimenting garden landscaping scheme.
