Planning Committee Success
SPASE Design has recently achieved planning success at committee for a new build eco-house replacing a mobile home in the countryside.
The existing mobile home was a converted former railway carriage with a certificate of lawfulness to use as a permanent residence. This offered an unusual opportunity outside of defined development boundaries for replacement with a new build home.
The proposal has been designed as an off-grid dwelling, sensitive to the site and with biodiversity and sustainability in mind. Our clients are passionate about the environment and this scheme will support their desire to live off the land.
The house is designed to appear as a converted barn appropriate to its agricultural setting, providing a significant enhancement from the former railway carriage whilst also offering sustainable and ecological benefits to the site overall.
Concerns were overcome regarding flood risk, sewage treatment and visual impact, and resulted in counsellors voting in favour of approval.
