Despite a Christmas of colds we are back at work. For our first full week we received approval for a two-storey extension with garage and home/office to a detached house in Midhurst and approval for works to a listed Norman Shaw building with a new bespoke garage store in the gardens designed by E.W Cooke. A pre-app meeting with a local East Sussex LPA was very positive for a development on a site where the urban grain of the conservation area is very tight.
Other projects and applications are in process and a bit to early but we remain hopeful and positively engaged.

But to end the day there is nothing like trying to understand the logic of some ...
