The team at ZMA have done it again and scored a planning hat trick in March for 3 sensitive sites –
3 sensitive planning applications approved in 3 different local authorities, for 3 unique projects, all in the same month.
Approval 1 is a super home in the rural open countryside of the Ribble Valley.
“Our clients currently live on the site in a converted barn which had been adapted over time and lost it’s agricultural aesthetic. Our clients love their siteand garden which experiences the most magnificent hillside views across the Ribble Valley. However, they wanted to adapt their home to future-proof the property for themselves, their family, and create an outstanding family home with everything they could want from a property. Our clients run a large family-ran local business and are passionate about promoting sustainable business practices, and they decided it is now the time to integrate sustainable living to their own personal home. The proposed design replaces their existing property with a 3-storey contemporary, rural property which references their original property but incorporates contemporary features, and meets the highest levels of sustainability. The property is an ‘upside–down house’ with the living spaces on the middle floor connecting to the existing high-level garden, the design includes a hidden courtyard with the swimming pool, gym, bar, living spaces and office wrapping round the courtyard. Various different outdoor terraces have been incorporated to allow the clients to blend indoor / outdoor living despite the weather”.
Approval 2 is a super home in the Chorley Greenbelt.
“An existing bungalow currently stands on the site, which our client’s have lived in for the last 21years, and had slowly adapted over time to suit their needs. However the house had reached the extension limitations for a dwelling on a Greenbelt site, and was now in need of a full refurbishment, reconfiguration and extension to accommodate their living requirements. The most suitable option to increase the size of the property whilst complying with Greenbelt planning policy, was to replace the existing dwelling with a high-quality, contemporary, sustainable home. The new dwelling includes a variety of open plan living spaces, a games room, bar, a large open plan home office, double height spaces, double height sliding glass wall to the garden, panoramic views of the open countryside, wrap around balconies and sun terraces, and a sunken outdoor entertaining terrace with fire pit.”
Approval 3 is an extension to a house in the Greenbelt of Hawkshaw, Bury.
“This scheme included an existing 3-storey property which had an old cottage out-building and had been identified as a ‘Non-Designated Heritate Asset’. The clients wanted to completely re-design the existing dwelling to work for their family of 3 children who are all under the age 7, and to include an annexe for their elderly parents. The proposal connects the cottage to the main house incorporating the cottage into the accommodation of the main house. The design sensitively re-builds the derelict cottage, and attaches to the main house via a glazed link entrance.”
ZMA’s clients are quite literally over the moon and are very excited about the next stages when their proposals will be transformed into reality!
