The Project

Our client had purchased a large detached dwelling within its own grounds in the Green Belt and, as the building was structurally unsafe, we were instructed to prepare and submit an application to replace it with a dwelling of a higher quality design and which was based on net-zero principles.

The existing building housed a bat roost so we worked closely with Avon Ecology to ensure that suitable mitigation was in place to satisfy the Council’s Ecologist but also to support a future licence application to Natural England.

Working closely with Josh Wood at Green Trace Architects the application was submitted in July 2025 and was finally approved in April 2026.
