This amazing news marks an exciting milestone for Project Roberta, as we move from initial design concepts to construction!

The Project

The approved plans feature an L-shaped single storey extension that will really transform this family home.

L-shaped extensions are increasingly popular because they offer excellent value while creating substantial additional living space.

This design adds considerable square footage while maintaining the existing home's character. The L-shaped configuration, wrapping around the entire property, maximises available space while respecting garden areas and neighbour boundaries.

Why L-Shaped Extensions Work

L-shaped extensions offer several advantages:

• More space - larger open-plan areas with defined zones
• Better light - multiple external walls mean more windows
• Garden connection - better indoor-outdoor flow
• Planning friendly - often work better with planning policies

The Planning Process

Securing planning permission in Newcastle-under-Lyme requires attention to local policies and neighbourhood character. Our experience with the local planning authority helped this application progress smoothly.

The design enhances rather than dominates the existing property, minimises neighbour impact, and complies with all local planning requirements.

Internal Renovation

Alongside the extension, the plans include comprehensive internal renovation. This ensures new and existing spaces work together seamlessly, creating better flow and making the most of additional natural light.

Next Step: Construction

With planning permission secured, we're now moving into the construction phase. We'll finalise details, secure Building Regulations approval, and coordinate with suppliers before breaking ground.

Construction will be carefully planned to minimise disruption while ensuring quality delivery for the family.

We're excited to begin construction and see these plans come to life. The combination of L-shaped extension and internal renovation will transform how this family uses their home, creating flowing, light-filled spaces perfect for modern family living.
