THE RIDGEWAY – PLANNING APPLICATION APPROVAL

We are delighted that Enfield Council has approved our scheme for 70a – 72 The Ridgeway, and has granted the eagerly anticipated Planning Permission.

This project involves the redevelopment of a suburban site with a two and a half storey apartment building containing 9 apartments with car parking, landscaping and associated amenities. The client’s requirements for this site were for an apartment building, traditional in design. Each apartment benefits from a reception room, a separate kitchen and two to three bedrooms and an outdoor terrace or balcony.

Our design proposals have been carefully considered to overcome the shortcomings of the previously refused proposals by another developer, and is designed to respond to the local context and vernacular in terms of appearance, character and materials, adding character to and compliment the area.


CRICKLEWOOD LIBRARY – THE FIT-OUT HAS COMMENCED

Since the Cricklewood Library in the London Borough of Brent closed in October 2011, the Friends of Cricklewood Library have worked tirelessly to secure the necessary funding to replace this essential community treasure.

The shell space made available for the new library is now ready to receive it’s makeover, to accommodate an array of residents’ workshops and craft groups alongside the 1000’s of donated books before the end of this year.

Work has commenced on site and the FOCL aim to open the doors to the public in December 2019. We will keep you updated about progress on this lovely community project via our Journal and Twitter.

 

Planning Application received for Westbury Road, London

Planning Approval has now been received for 80A Westbury Road, located within the London borough of Barnet.

The existing property is used as a private two-storey detached, single family dwelling house of 75m².

The approved proposal is to demolish the existing house and build a new detached house that reflects the existing vernacular on the street.  Which typically have curved bay windows, front-gable, tile-pitch roofs etc.

The new building will be designed as a contemporary take on the surrounding area. It will be built in high quality materials, mainly brick and tiles inspired by the surrounding area and the existing building. 

The design incorporates dormers to the front and rear of the new building. Notably, they are half the width and height of the proposed roofscape.

The front dormer is also in keeping with the existing front dormers seen on No.78 and No.80 Westbury Road.  Its position at the front has been carefully placed to read well with the fenestration at Ground and First floor level.
