Sample Planning Granted

HDC - DC/17/1778 Demolition of existing ground floor extension and erection of replacement two storey front extension with bay window. A lovely Victorian building steeped in "Character", we were commissioned to amend drawings completed by a previous RIBA architect, to bring to fruition, their ideas in extending their home to match the original features, as well as to enhance the internal spaces with flush ceilings where possible as well as using brick specials to ensure the double storey extension blended smoothly to the existing building, with sun tubes, double vaulted Master bedroom with "Minstrel Gallery".

HDC - DC/17/1345 Double/Single side/rear extension, new entrance porchway spacious huge rear extension with stunning master bedroom above, Juliette balcony French doors with toughened glass balustrade. New kitchen/dining/family/snug room with aluminium biforld doors with level threshold to rear harden - Now We Have Planning For No 18 & No 20 Springfield Pk Road...Need to move on to the rest of the street!

HDC - DC/17/0393 Normans - Paulo Gucci's Previous Residence - 75 Acre Estate. Planning approved to convert the indoor Oak frame covered swimming pool to be adjoined onto the 3 bedroom cottage to make a stunning double vaulted lounge/sitting/family social space, split level floors to contain the new kitchen area, additional bedrooms, now 5 bedrooms in total, mock "Tudor Mansion", complete with new double storey front elevation imposing grand entrance, drive and electric gates.

HDC - DC/16/1368 This was granted in June 2016 - Just nearly completed "Stunning Contemporary" 9.5m wide steel frame glazed gable ended "A" frame extension, internal room is 8m x 8m for their new kitchen/dining/snug/family room. The rear doors are aluminium (with built-in internal electric blinds) level threshold doors - A challenging job craning the steel frame "A" frame over the house, the vaulted double storey space is similar to a sports hall.

HDC - DC/17/0602 - 51 Oakhill Road - THis Application Was Done In "TANDEM" With No 49 Oakhill Road - The clients at No 49 Oakhill Road wanted an extension, but the 45 degree rule precluded them from achieving planning for their rear extension - We asked them to speak to the neighbours at No 51 Oakhill Road, if they would like to extend at the same time by sharing the party wall to save costs - The neighbours agreed - this was a monumental achievement by both parties, so EFD architects resubmitted the applications in "Tandem" - the project is going well and is currently on site being built by the contractor - building both properties at the same time - this is the reason clients need to use local Chartered Architects that have local knowledge!

HDC - DC/17/0490 - 49 Oakhill Road - THis Application Was Done In "TANDEM" With No 51 Oakhill Road - As Above...

HDC - New Instruction To Build A "BRAND NEW HOUSE IN HORSHAM" Originally a barn into a 325m² "Generously Sized Family Home" with a large family/social area opening out to the patio area through bi-fold doors with stunning views of the countryside - Now Completed, Including A Oak Framed Vaulted Walkway On The First Floor Over The Kitchen/Dining Area.

HDC - DC/16/0604 This was granted in March 2016 Just Fully Completed - Demolished a tired old damp building, client called a "Shed" to be replaced with a"Spacious/light" Brand New Building, with very contemporary mono-pitched metal roof with roof lights that change colour remotely, a "Wellbeing centre/Clinic in the middle of Horsham, a light airy calming space for participants to enjoy, complete with oak timber/under floor heating, the clients love this space :

Paul - We would like to thank you again for the brilliant handling of our planning application with the council - rather complicated case of extension in the middle of town. We are pretty confident that not many architects would have succeeded to achieve what you have achieved, thanks to your creative approach and determination. We really appreciate your work and will be happy to continue our cooperation during the building stage - NOW COMPLETED!

With gratitude & best regards,
Irina & Patrick Bourdier, Horsham in the future.”

“Paul made the design and planning process easy and fun for turning an ordinary outdated 1960's bungalow into a smart 21 Century single level living – No mean feat for a project which took almost a year from first meeting to completion of the build”

Difference Over Our Competitors?

Greatest challenge is explaining the difference between the professional service that "We offer" & the services being offered by third Party/National Introductory Agencies, referring you to other's for a "fee" the freelance designer/architect has to pay, before they even meet you... from outside Horsham. Unqualified architectural consultants, technicians, not passed their Part 3 exams in Professional Practice, Management, no membership to ARB (Architects Registration Board) trade introductory websites, In-house D&Build, structural engineers, surveyors & planning consultants, may confuse you by suggesting that they are "architects" who are "Not Qualified/Trained Designers". There are websites using the word "ARCHITECTURE" to get around the law, since the word "ARCHITECT" is protected by law, our industry is so Unregulated & Can Be Very Confusing.....Who To Approach..."

They may appear to give away the design part, their services, although cheaper simply do not offer the same protection, level of service/quality that we provide and strongly believe people need. The drawings completed can be quite alarming, We study the same period as doctors to become fully qualified - would you - Ask an unqualified doctor to be your surgeon? "An architect is an essential investment into the capable planning & designing of any project, our additional expense is offset by the potential increased "Value of your asset - Your Home" .

We spend time correcting drawings completed by other "Unqualified Architects" outside the area, clients having to pay yet again for the service that they should have received in the first place - Attracted by their reduced fees...

"Insist on using an ARB/RIBA registered "Chartered Architect" Ask for their ARB registration number, Ask to see their Portfolio of Completed Detailed Construction Drawings, Ask to be invited to view a Completed Project/House - Not many have built their own "New" home in Horsham!.

"We may be qualified architects, but "We are not all the same" - An initial consultation is "Free of Charge" to discuss your dreams..
