DLP Planning Ltd (DLP) have successfully secured full planning permission for the demolition of a stable block and erection of two new detached dwellings outside of the settlement envelope of Lower Stondon in Central Bedfordshire.

The site comprises an existing stable block and area of the garden, bound by existing development on two sides, to the east of the large village of Lower Stondon. A strong case was put forward demonstrating the land’s status as a logical infill site and further arguing that its development would not result in further intrusion or erosion of the open countryside.

Working in collaboration with BE1 Architects, a high-quality scheme for two five-bedroom dwellings was produced, making an efficient and imaginative use of the site, whilst protecting the amenity of neighboring residences and the countryside edge.

The application was approved under delegated powers.
