Private Housing

Berkhamsted, Herts

Brief
The clients wished to incorporate an access roadway at the side of the house into their plot. The requirement was to obtain planning permission to extend the house adding a garage, larger living room and new bedroom and bathroom over.

Outcome
The house was remodelled inside and the services and utility room area upgraded. Due to the slope of the street a retaining wall had to be formed to create the level space at the side. The new deep foundations were lower than the neighbours’ house footings so a party wall award was agreed with the neighbour. New patios and pond were added to the rear and landscaping carried out.
