Planning Approval: Horsforth Luxury Extension
An exciting update for our prestigious extension in Horsforth, Leeds
Although the proposal is a significant departure from the appearance of the existing dwelling, it is considered that the shape, form and detailing of the extension will sit comfortably alongside its host. The extension appears more like a detached outbuilding linked to the main house by a frameless, clear glass link.Local Planning Authority Case Office Report
A Major Milestone in the Design Journey
We are delighted to announce that our proposal for a high-end contemporary extension for a Victorian house in the Horsforth Conservation Area has now been approved by the Local Planning Authority. Over the course of the planning consultation, we were engaged in constructive conversation with the case officer which enabled us to refine the proposal to ensure that it best met the local requirements whilst retaining its architectural identity.
Ambitious Design in Heritage Spaces
This is a brilliant example of how JAR's approach to planning which is comprehensive and pro-active can yield great results. We believe that there is compatibility between the contemporary and heritage fabric where designs can enter into conversation with the respective time periods in which the various parts are constructed. For this project, in particular, the intention was to allow the existing building, which is beautiful in its own right, to maintain its distinct character with the extension being unabashedly of its time.
Next Steps
Everyone involved is very excited to see this amazing extension built in real life. We're hoping to break ground later this year and to complete the works in the 2027.
