    A selection of our past, present and future projects

    Nationwide Site Appraisals

    From single plots to large-scale major developments

    Hundreds of site assessments and appraisals undertaken to assess the risks, issues and likelihood of permission for various levels of development. These range from replacement dwellings to residential developments of 600 houses or more.

     

    An assessment of prevailing planning policies and the local area is required as well as delving into the history of the site and the future development of surrounding land. This gives confidence progressing with a project and forms a large part of works undertaken at DPAD ltd.

    Anslow, Staffordshire

    Extensions and Remodelling

    The brief was to create an open and airy kitchen dining space with family space, a separate luxurious living space and a new master suite above the existing garage. The design was to be harmonious with the existing property and street.

     

    A scheme was drawn up with many revisions before being submitted for planning permission which was obtained within the statutory time frame with no amendments much to the homeowner's delight.

    Swadlincote, Derbyshire

    Exetensions and Remodelling

    A modest and cramped bungalow required a extensive modernisation. This was achieved by utilising the existing rooms at the front but extending and remodelling the rear with a deep, pitched, vaulted roof extension to allow for a large family living-kitchen as well as providing a second double bedroom.

     

    This has resulted in a completely new feel to the property whilst also increasing its value significantly.

    Rural Derbyshire

    5,000sq.ft extension and remodelling of substantial country home.

    The brief is to create a large wing to the rear of the house for additional living space, a leisure complex and remodelling of the existing property to create a super luxury mansion of over 15,000sq.ft.

     

    New security gates and fencing also required next to a Grade I Listed church.

    Rural Staffordshire

    Bird hide with wetland for nature photography

    The brief is to create an engineered pond and wetland area to guarantee stunning nature shots. Discreet hid required to help it blend into the countryside whilst allowing excellent visibility of the pond and perches.

     

    Great business opportunity which boost the local economy whilst boosting the ecology.

    Rural Staffordshire

    Bespoke Farm Conversion

    Redevelopment of a farm utilising the conversion of two barn complexes and the rebuild of a traditional Staffordshire Farmhouse. All resulting in luxury high end properties overlooking idyllic countryside.

     

    Contemporary take on the traditional farmstead to bring the site up to modern living standards.

    Stapenhill, Burton

    Bespoke Riverside Home

    Application to establish a larger bespoke dwelling on the banks of the River Trent. Exceptional modern design with large garage with boat store, workshop and mezzanine. Built on stilts to avoid the very worst floods the house is designed to provide safe accommodation for young family and their needs.

    Hulam, Durham

    Anaerobic Digestion Plan

    This application was on the limit if its approval with all relevant conditions needing discharging and an Advanced Ecological Approval Application submitting. Multiple consultants and specialists involved and managed with all information submitted, reviewed and approved within time saving the applicants thousands of pounds and many months of uncertainty.

    Staffordshire Idyll

    Redevelopment of former industrial site

    A poorly placed, rural industrial area required full redevelopment to form six high end, luxury dwellings to complement the existing village and be suitable on the fringe of the countryside.

     

    A bespoke design was required to replicate the local vernacular whilst bringing its own sense of place. A mix of ridge heights, projections and materials make this a really high quality development.

    Yoxall, Staffordshire

    Mobile home for agricultural & forestry

    The occupants of an agricultural and forestry business were tired of living in a meagre static caravan and needed larger accommodation. Following the refusal of a scheme for a new dwelling alternative means were sought. This mobile home is the maximum size allowed at 20m by 6.8m and provides luxurious accommodation. Approval granted April 2021.

    Rural Staffordshire

    Farmhouse Extensions for growing family

    As part of a farmyard redevelopment the main farmhouse required significant extension. Further extensions to follow based on changing needs of owner so a two storey side extension is required with mixed materials to really elevate the style of the property.

     

    Paired with a timber and brick triple garage, and expansive countryside views the property is a true gem.

    Rural Staffordshire

    Barn Conversion Alterations

    A very well converted barn required some amendments to draw in more light and make the habitable rooms more comfortable. Maintaining the rural aesthetic whilst providing for the needs of the client required a balance.

    Cleadon, South Tyneside

    Modernisation and extension of substantial Victorian property

    Situated in the heart of an attractive conservation area there was a requirement to create tasteful extensions and alteration to suit the client's expectations. The floor space was significantly increased to provide everything an luxury modern property requires. Planning policy was very prescriptive but through careful justification the scheme was approved.

    Rural Staffordshire

    High quality gates and fences

    Large rural mansion required more security and status upon approach. Substantial gates and fences proposed but in a style to complement the host dwelling whilst respecting the Grade I Listed Church adjacent.

     

    Materials and a scale were chosen to match the main house whilst limiting visibility into the estate. Paired with electronic sensors and discreet CCTV the property is now well secured in style.

    Bromley Hurst, Staffordshire

    Garage / Store / Office to complement a traditional barn conversion

    Located on a former complex this barn conversion its traditional with a few modern twists. It was lacking a storage area and the garden was somewhat exposed so a bespoke solution for found in a wide garage with space for storage of vehicles and household items. Some of the space can also be used as home office in the office with idyllic rural views. This building also results in better screening of the private garden as well as shelter the wind.

    Spondon, Derby

    Renovations and Change of Use of Grade I Listed Building and Grade II Coach House

    Significant renovations are required to this Grade I building which is noted as one of the finest properties in Derbyshire. This is married to a change of use planning application to secure the long term protection of the building and its surroundings.

    Charnwood, Leicestershire

    Significant renovations of Grade II Listed Building

    This listed building was in dire need of renovation with only 50% being habitable and the other half not modernised since the turn of the early 20th Century. The desire was to get the building to a fully habitable state ready for modern living.

    Newbold Coleorton, Leicestershire

    Housing development for 12 dwellingson site of former stone works

    The site had laid dormant for some time and presented an ideal opportunity for redevelopment of a brownfield site. This was outside the limits to development so significant justification was required to satisfy the Local Planning Authority in order to grant permission. Complicated by employment uses, ecology, archaeology and contamination.

     

    Now onto Phase II for a further seven dwellings with questions over status of previously developed land and the site's archaeological legacy.

    Rural Darlington

    Equestrian Development

    Large field complex with some run-down stables in need of investment. Brief is to maximise site for equestrian uses and have a state of the art, elite riding centre to build a solid and viable enterprise with the aims of future expansion.

    Leisure and Residential Complex in Flood Plain and Green Belt

    A site with many challenges; being an existing hospitality business nestles in the middle of a flood plain and within the green belt the challenge of overcoming principle is paramount. The goal is to provide a nationally recognised leisure and hospitality attraction with a smattering of residential units in a waterside location.

    Rural Staffordshire

    Large country house subdivided

    The property was too large for the needs of the owners so the house was successfully and discreetly sub-divided to create an additional unit. Successfully granted through Planning Committee with minimal condition.

    Rural Staffordshire

    Ormesby, Redcar and Cleveland

    Replacement Dwelling

    Client had a large plot of land with a small, substandard house. A full redesign with significant extension was required. The site was in an area where development is normally resisted by the Local Planning Authority so a lot of effort went into the justification of the scheme. The scheme was refused twice but won at Appeal. Under Construction as of July 2019.

    Ormesby, Redcar and Cleveland

    Landscaping Scheme

    Following approval, a landscaping was required to discharge conditions. The scheme includes parking, patios, tree removal and retention, ecological areas, wildflower planting, art work and screening.

    Hartlepool, Teesside

    Four Backland Dormer Bungalows

    A large property had an extensive rear garden backing onto allotments. The garden could accommodate a large number of dwellings to to maintain suitable amenity space for all four salubrious dormer bungalows were considered the right solution. With integral garages, an excellent build quality and an open plan living space these properties sold before the foundations were finished.

    Ibstock, Leicestershire

    New Dwelling; Successful at Appeal

    Proposals to replace a garage with a dwelling were refused by the Local Planning Authority despite best efforts to push for an approval. Following an Appeal, the Planning Inspector sided in our favour allowing the development of a modest bungalow to help boost land values and provide much needed smaller accommodation for the local area.

    Moor Meadow Road, Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield

    Two storey side and front extensions

    More space was required for growing family needs; two additional bedroom, larger bathroom, new ensuite to master bedroom, improved front entrance and gallery, and larger garage.

    Hurworth, Darlington

    House remodel

    A remodel of an outdated bungalow. The client wanted more space, and more kerb appeal. The local area had a standard design so deviation too far from the norm was not possible but the end result worked well and enhances the property no end whilst providing the client enough room for his growing family and future needs.

    Newhall, Swadlincote

    Three houses

    Vacant plot of land with good access and services. Client wants to maximise potential of site. Planning permission granted June 2019.

    Marske, Redcar and Cleveland

    Removal of Horticultural Tie & Enforcement Challenge

    A former nurseries was failing to sell owing to a horticultural tie but the use had ceased many years ago. An application was submitted to remove the tie and allow normal occupancy but was met with resistance from the Council and they decided to serve a Breach of Condition Notice and Enforcement Notice; not the done thing when an application has been submitted to regularise the situation and the serving of both notices showed a lack of understanding on their part. The notices were subsequently appealed, the Council backed down and the permission for the removal of the tie was issued.

    Hartburn, Stockton

    New house in garden

    A sizeable residence required an additional house in the garden. Separation distance, landscaping and design were all balanced to create new house that fit perfectly within the local context.

    Middleton, Darlington

    Rear Extension

    A detached bungalow in need of additional space. Original idea of side extension would block out too much light and result in a narrow unusable space; a rear extension replacing one of the garages was the next best fit so a variety of designs are proposed to see which would appeal he most to the client.

    Tow Law, Co. Durham

    6 Self Build Executive Properties and Listed Building Conversion

    A plot was acquired adjacent to a new estate and the main road running through Tow Law. The brief was to establish up to 6 large dwellings fronting the main road whilst preserving the character of the Grade II Listed Auction Mart. Planing permission was achieved through the use of design code to help steer the self builders to create properties with a unified theme but individual character whilst maintaining the character and setting of the Listed building.

     

    The Listed Auction Mart was a challenge as it was decaying, had bats and was not conducive to modern living but a solution was found that sensitively integrated a garage and everything required for a 21st century house. Open plan ground floor with mezzanine above for bedroom spaces.

    Barmpton, Darlington

    Extension to Listed Building

    Two rear extensions on the rear of a partially Listed barn conversion. Several concepts prepared to see what would work best for the client. Interesting project with high quality at its heart.

    Norton, Stockton

    Listed building in need of modernisation and innovative solutions. The Local Planning Department are resistant to change but discussions are progressing to enable the property to be extraordinary.

    Eston, Cleveland
