The proposal included a hip-to-gable extension with a new loft conversion, a rear dormer for usable accommodation, and a single storey side extension. The property was in the Green Belt, where the 30% volume increase threshold needed to be carefully managed. A combined volume increase of 24.68% was achieved, keeping the scheme within acceptable limits.
YPDS designed all elements as a coordinated scheme, carefully calculating the overall volume increase to remain below the 30% Green Belt threshold. All materials were specified to match the existing dwelling and a planning application was submitted addressing all Green Belt policies.
Planning permission was approved for the full scheme, enabling the homeowners to gain loft accommodation, a side extension and a porch within the Green Belt constraints.
