As the dwelling is categorised as a Building of Townscape Merit and being located in the Conservation Area, the existing dwelling has a traditional character, and is of heritage value. However, the clients wanted to create a highly contemporary extension to improve the way they live and how they use their house and garden.

The site is located in the Wiswell Conservation Area, Ribble Valley and the property is categorised as a Building of Townscape Merit. The property is not orientated towards the rear garden and therefore has a poor connection both visually and physically to their primary garden space.
The proposal redesigns the rear elevation at ground floor level, creating a highly contemporary extension which stretches the width of the garden, and improves the overall connection to their outdoor space.
