New Semi-Detached Houses in Uckfield completed

The pair of new semi-detached houses constructed for Gold Property Developments in Buxted, Uckfield, East Sussex have now been completed. For more details see the Projects page. The client came to BWP Architects with planning permission in place and we were commissioned to prepare the construction drawings only.

We also prepared a series of alternative designs, one of which is shown below, to improve the elevational treatment but the client wished to proceed with the current design in order to minimise any delays to the construction period.

 

Certificate of Lawful Use issued for Loft Extension in Harrogate

We have recently prepared a loft extension scheme for a semi-detached property in Leadhall Avenue, Harrogate.

The proposals were developed to comply with Permitted Development Guidelines and we have obtained a Lawful Development Certificate from Harrogate Borough Council in advance of the work commencing

The Permitted Development Route route ensured that our client can get the extra space they require without the uncertainty and expense of a full Planning Application.

Movember final count is in…..

Regular followers of our Twitter feed (@bwp_architects) and our Blog (www.bwparchitects.com/blog) will know that in November 2011 the three partners all decided to take part in ‘Movember’ – a world-wide charity event which sees men growing moustaches in aid of Prostate and Testicular Cancer charities.

Well, the final money is now in and we’re delighted to report that between us we managed to raise a total of £935…. not too shabby for doing very little (apart from itching alot and listening to complaints from the children….)!
