We are very pleased to share details of our latest permission in Tandridge District for a new dwelling on previously developed land in the Green Belt. Working with @scandiahus to create a new home that not only meets the clients needs but also addresses Green Belt policy. This interesting split level design worked well with the contours of the site and enabled a contemporary new dwelling to replace a number of single storey outbuildings in a beautiful location. Thank you to our Preferred Partners, @baseenergyinfo @davidarcherassociates and @rpetrow5154 for their technical input throughout the application stage of this project.
Last week it was the turn of our Croydon office to host our 30th Anniversary celebrations. We love our iconic London base at No.1 Croydon (formerly the NLA Tower).

Daisy Wood and her team at Sussex Innovation were incredible and we had a lot of fun. Here’s to the next 30 years!

Exciting times for our Croydon office today. Plenty more to come from our Planning and Architectural team based at No.1 Croydon.
2 Brickfield Cottages has been lovingly extended to improve the living accommodation and overall appearance of the property. Due to its Green Belt location a series of applications were required to convert and then link the original garage to the main dwelling. Subsequent applications to alter the facade with new windows and feature chimney were also necessary. The outcome is a greatly improved living space with sensitive detailing and quality materials.
It’s National Apprenticeship Week and Max Rayner, our award-winning, 4th year Apprentice Architectural Assistant is in high demand again. On Wednesday he’ll be speaking to pupils at Dunottar School alongside his mentor Lee Barker, our Architectural Director and Work Experience & Apprenticeship Programme lead, then on Thursday he’ll be speaking at Reigate Sixth Form College. At WS Planning & Architecture we believe in supporting work experience, alternative routes to qualification, and real career development for our team.

A positive end to the week for one of our private clients in Chipstead, Surrey. Their 5,500sq/ft dwelling in the Walpole Avenue Residential Area of Special Character (RASC) was granted permission earlier today. 4 bedrooms, indoor pool, gym, home cinema and large open plan living and dining area. We can’t wait to see this project unfold through Technical design and beyond. #unlockingpotential #30yearsofunlockingpotential #planningandarchitecture #planning #townplanning #architecture #design #urbandesign #detail #surrey #southeast #placemaking #innovation #creative #inspiration #vision #forwardthinking #WSRelationships #WSProfessionalism #WSCommunity #granted
