New Dwelling, Baddesley Clinton

We’re pleased to announce that we have secured planning approval for a new home on a highly desirable Green Belt plot in Warwickshire.

Through careful negotiation with Warwickshire District Council, we have gained approval to replace an existing house with a significantly larger, high-performance dwelling located in the sought-after area of Baddesley Clinton, near Solihull.

Our strategy cleverly maximised the new home’s volume by leveraging all available permitted development rights associated with the existing house. This included allowances for extensions, an additional storey, and outbuildings, enabling us to establish a larger theoretical volume than would typically be considered acceptable. By demonstrating this as the baseline, we successfully justified an increased size for the new dwelling within planning constraints.

We also navigated key planning challenges, including ancient woodland preservation, biodiversity net gain, ecological impact, and highways considerations. Additionally, we achieved a significant improvement in energy efficiency by integrating sustainable technologies and a high-performing building envelope.
