Clanville House
Clanville House is a Grade2* Listed Building. The clients wanted a modern extension to provide a new kitchen as the floorplan of the original dwelling was not conducive to their living requirements. Pre-application discussions were undertaken with the Local Planning Authority and despite Historic England having no issue with the proposed contemporary rear extension, the LPA’s Conservation Officer refused to agree to support the scheme as his position was that any rear extension would unbalance the symmetry of the design of the house. Despite proposals for a smaller extension being put to him, he refused to change his position. In order to secure a successful outcome, 2 sets of applications had to be prepared and subsequently appealed, with the Appeal Inspector upholding both appeals and granting planning permission for both schemes.
