Garden design - Long, thin plot.
Comments (8)A long narrow garden is perfect to have a relaxing retreat at the bottom. Our patio louvre roof creates an outdoor living space in your garden perfect for relaxing in away from your home. The louvre roof is automated turning the louvres flat to create a fully watertight roof. It is perfect for all year use and great for keeping protecting your garden furniture ready for the summer. This free standing Umbris patio roof below, creates an undercover retreat in their garden. The vertical louvre panels also provide an element of privacy and weather protection from wind also helping to keep the new living space drier in heavy rainfalls, whilst still maintaining transparency to keep the outdoor living experience. Additional elements can be added such as, heating, lighting, audio system all built into the roof profile. We have just had an Umbris installed at our showroom in Amersham at Sky House Design Centre, you can arrange a showroom visit by contacting us on 01494 722 882....See MoreNew dwelling on a corner plot
Comments (3)As above:- You can ask for a 'Pre'Planning meeting'. The council will then let you know what the likelyhood of planning being accepted would be. It's always handy to take any docs that you have ie pictures of the road, the plot, the size a rough outline of what you want to build and achieve etc. They won't give you an answer, but they will tell you if it 'should' be possible. Pay particular attention to parking for vehicles, not causing congestion etc, they love that....See MoreIdea for a kitchen-dining in a quirky plot!
Comments (17)I think Karen probably means extending......................you just need to know where the 'build line' is, which normally runs from the front of your house to the fronts of the others. Councils do not generally like building in front of the build line. With regards fencing, the general rule of thumb as per my render above, that you cannot put a 6 ft fence within 1 metre of the highway without permission, thus, why I chose to mark it 1 metre back of that. The council can tell you all of this, but you might find the Planning Portal very useful, there's an 'interactive' house on there, which you can explore to see what you do and don't need permission for....See Moreopportunity to buy a plot of land
Comments (3)Establish your budget first and foremost. Make sure you keep a large contingency fund separate from the budget you quote to the architect. Don’t worry about flooring, that’s a detail for waaaay down the road. Instead write out a clear and well thought through brief about: what you need from the house (number of bedrooms and bathrooms etc) how you like (or dream of!) living (eg do you want to spend a lot of time outdoors, do you love to spend time together as a family or do more separate things). What gives you energy- big light airy spaces or cosy cocoons? What do you want from the house in terms of its eco credentials What styles of architecture are you drawn to (maybe make a Pinterest or Houzz board with notes about what you’re drawn to). You may be limited with architectural styles though. It is daunting but could be a chance of a lifetime. If it were me and I had the money, I’d eagerly pursue it!...See More- 8 years agoAssuming you move the front door to the garage side and that you could get the necessary planning permission for this extension you could add significantly to the square footage and potentially enclose the whole garden.
Given that this would require new kitchens and bathrooms this is a large project but could add more than you spend to the value. Do you have a budget in mind?

- 8 years agoI think that you should speak to the planners about what they will allow but in the meantime I enclose a quick sketch.
When you have exact measurements I would post another dilemma in this forum but include measurements, where the doors are going to be into the garden from the house, the direction of the sun and the budget you have put aside for the garden.
