LEASOWES LANE | OFFENHAM
Class Q and Class Q Replacement
How it went
How it started
Initially, the planning and architectural team was instructed by the clients to seek Class Q prior approval to convert the existing barn into a two-storey dwelling using the existing footprint and structure of the building. This was approved in early 2023, and whilst it provided a goodsized space, the restrictions imposed by the Class Q process meant a number of compromises had to be made by the clients for their dream home, and the team set about on a replacement scheme. In close collaboration with the clients, the
architecture team moved swiftly to create a Class Q replacement scheme, better suited to the client’s wants and needs.
The new scheme featured traditional metal cladding, to remain cohesive to the rural setting, floor to ceiling glazing to maximise views and a detached three bay garage with solar panels.
Initially, the scheme was met with scepticism from the neighbours, who were unsure about the design and massing of the project, however a response from the planning team soon put any concerns to rest.
In February 2024, the new dwelling including detached garage was approved.
With construction scheduled for later this year, this project is still ongoing. We are currently undertaking the Discharge of Conditions Application and producing working drawings in preparation for the upcoming build. How it finished
“ Fantastic news!! Thank you, we are both very excited and a little bit terrified now it’s all real!
Thanks again for your help”
