Description of development
Substantial extension and remodelling of a small dwelling within the South Downs National Park (SDNP), together with a 3 bay carport and hobby room above.
N&J Design are delighted to have secured planning permission for our client to undertake a substantial extension and refurbishment to their two bed detached cottage, situated within the village of Soberton.
The successful outcome was the culmination of multiple pre-application negotiations with the SDNP Planning Authority to maximise the development potential whilst working within the constraints of policy SD31 to deliver a scheme which will result in visual and ecological enhancements to the site. The scheme also includes sustainability and landscape improvements.
The extended dwelling is of exceptional quality, centred around a full oak frame with brickwork panels and lime render externally, handmade plain clay tiles to the roofs and flush timber casement windows throughout.
Build status
Commenced Summer 2025.
