New 4 bedroom dwelling incorporating glazed entrance hall with double volume feature and open plan kitchen / dining room in Silsden, near Keighley.

Taking advantage of the generous plot of a late 19th century Arts and Crafts style property, the breif was to acquire planning and building regulation approvals and provide assistance with the project on site, concluding with Architects Certificates for new family dwelling with sypathetic design to the existing house. The project proved successful creating a light and generously proportioned home complimenting the setting in terms of massing and architefctural design. Some dialogue was required with planning officers but approval was granted at the first attempt and we created a modern home meeting building regulationswhich we administered in consultation with the local authoity building control team and inspectors. We assisted our client to acquire quotes for the building work at the appropriate tender stage.

The scheme appears relatively simple in design terms but is well finished by local contractor Chris Milnes (Chris Milnes Building Contractors Ltd) and his team.
