An exciting and challenging project for the erection of a new dwelling on the edge of Carnkie village in Cornwall.
The application site was within a designated Conservation Area and World Heritage Site and is well known for its historic mining activity and heritage significance so was therefore an extremely sensitive site.
A carefully considered and sympathetic design was essential to the successful outcome of this application. A positive result was only possible thanks to the proactive and efficient collaboration between the client, project team, Heritage Consultant and Cornwall Council’s planning department.

"We had many challenges in gaining planning permission in a world heritage area. Nick over came all the issues creating a successful application which satisfied all the planning concerns and still enabled us to have the property we wanted. The communication was excellent, and an honest two-way conversation is always needed in a project like this. Our modern cottage blends in well in our farming and former mining community. We've have received positive feedback from our community. We have recommended Nick's services.”
