We were approached by a client who was unsuccessful in achieving planning approval with other consultants. By carrying out a detailed analysis of the site and after careful negotiations with the local authority, Witcher Crawford Architects managed to secure planning consent in 2019 for a new build house on this sensitive site. The house is now complete.
This new build house has recently come to completion in Leatherhead. The project involved replacing a mid-20th century bungalow and garage with a new 2 storey house with an integrated garage.
The client asked for a traditional and unfussy design to be in keeping with the local vernacular, and to be a standalone building in its own right.
Undertaking a careful assessment of the site and the street context, we successfully achieved planning approval for a 240% increase in floor area from the existing house to the new design.
