We are delighted to have had a planning appeal allowed for this barn conversion project in the South Derbyshire Greenbelt!

Having been recommended for approval by the planning officer the planning application was refused by the planning committee. The reasons given were that the proposal involved inappropriate development in the greenbelt and involved extensive extension and alterations. The appeal inspector found these reasons to be unfounded and could see the visual enhancement offered by the design and the reduced overall impact upon the openness of the Greenbelt - the proposed extension replaces a detached stable block that projects further into the greenbelt.

So after 2 years (due to numerous planning delays and lengthy appeal process) we can now help the client progress towards a start on site! Very exciting!

The delays encountered are symptomatic of the underlying problems with the planning system and such delays have a big impact upon our workload programming, the workload of the construction industry/supply chain, not to mention the client’s plans and aspirations.

Lovely to finish the week visiting a recently completed project. This one involved a rear extension and some significant internal alterations. Pigmented zinc was used to clad the rear elevation providing a modern yet sympathetic contrast to the traditional brickwork. The space created offers a lovely open-plan kitchen/dining area with loads of natural light and a great view over the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. We will be back for more photos in spring/summer 2025 🏠

Nice day to call in and check progress on this extension in rural Derbyshire. It is taking shape nicely with work on the outside almost complete and attention shifting to internal aspects. Being in a conservation area we were restricted in height not being able to breach the ridge of the existing roof so as to limit the perceived impact of the extension. We adopted a form of mansard roof with metal clad dormers to provide generous windows and additional headroom. Looking forward to seeing it in a couple of months time!

We’ve reached practical completion on our garden room extension to this grade II listed former mill manager’s house and the clients couldn’t be happier with the results which give them a much improved connection with their fabulous riverside garden along with level access to a new ground floor shower room. The improvements will enhance their enjoyment of the property for many years to come! Great job by D W Ball and the team on the building and attention to detail.

We recently obtained full planning permission for 3 new dwellings for a site in a desirable established residential area close to Chesterfield.

Please feel free to get in touch if interested and we’d be happy to provide further information.

This modest extension to a Grade II listed, former mill managers house, replaces a not-particularly sensitive conservatory added by the previous owners. The replacement structure offers improved thermal efficiency whilst retaining a good connection with the fantastic garden and frequently visiting wildlife. A ground floor shower room is also incorporated to provide improved accessibility to such facilities for the long-standing owners

We obtained planning permission for this new rural house in Herefordshire 2.5 years ago! The client decided to go on an extended holiday to Australia having prepared the base and secured the consent by ‘making a start’. Now they are back and the ICF walls are going up! The house will be very energy efficient and will have access to stunning views over the rolling countryside

Great to see some of our projects starting on site over the past couple of weeks. We are lucky to have the opportunity to work on some lovely properties in fantastic locations. Further posts with information on each to follow.

Planning successes - In recent months we have secured planning permission for new dwellings on 3 separate occasions for homeowners in locations that would not ordinarily be considered suitable for residential development, taking advantage of the Local Authority’s current lack of housing land supply. This allows our clients to maximise the value of their land and, in some cases, to downsize without re-locating.

We are so pleased with the transformation of this 70's house. Replacing the the conservatory and moving the kitchen into a new fan-shaped extension addressing the generous garden has changed the way in which the family enjoy their home - they are just as pleased, if not more!
