PRE-APPLICATION | PLANNING ADVICE Our pre-application submission is now live for our replacement dwelling design in Nottingham.
The client is considering a replacement dwelling on what is a sensitive site—so we are taking the proactive step of a pre-app to help identify some of the planning risks at an early stage.
When the stakes are high, early planning engagement can be the smart move.

FUTURE HOMES STANDARD The Future Homes Standard is set to reshape how new homes in England are designed and built — with a greater focus on energy efficiency, low-carbon heating, and long-term performance.
In our latest blog, we break down what it means for homeowners, self-builders and developers, and why planning ahead matters.
In fact, our award winning eco homes in Nottingham [pictured] were blazing this same trail back in 2014

SINGLE STOREY BUNGALOWS: Did you know?
New build #bungalows now make up just 1% to 1.2% of all new homes built in the UK — a huge drop from the 1980s, when around 1 in 6 new homes were bungalows.
Despite strong demand from retirees and “last-time buyers”, developers often favour higher-density, multi-storey housing — making new build bungalows increasingly rare.
At PD Architecture, we’re proud to be bucking the trend. In recent years, we’ve designed multiple bungalows across Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and Lincoln as part of our new build, custom build and self-build projects.

VAULTED CEILINGS: A How-To Guide:

HOW TO GUIDE: CLASS Q BARN CONVERSIONS
Thinking about converting a barn into a home? 🏡
Our latest blog explains Class Q permitted development and how agricultural buildings can be transformed into residential properties without full planning permission. We cover the key rules, common pitfalls, and what to consider before starting a barn conversion project.
Read the full guide on our website and find out if your barn could become a unique new home https://www.pd-architecture.co.uk/blog/how-to-guide-class-q-barn-conversions/
GARAGE CONVERSIONS What would you use yours for? A well-designed garage conversion shouldn’t feel like a former garage. It should feel like a natural extension of your home — comfortable, well-lit, and thoughtfully integrated.
With careful planning, proper insulation, and a clear design strategy, a garage conversion can transform underused space into one of the most valuable rooms in your home.
If you're considering a project, working with an experienced architectural practice will ensure your conversion is compliant, comfortable, and built to last.
