RIBA Chartered, Rosenkelly Architectural Design could help you secure planning permission for alterations and extensions across rural Dorset. Bungalows present specific planning and design challenges due to their scale, roof forms, and relationship with surrounding properties. A strategic and well-justified approach is essential to achieve meaningful improvement while remaining compliant with local policy.
Our service focuses on unlocking the full potential of existing bungalows through sensitive design development. This includes refining roof forms, improving internal layouts, enhancing fenestration, and upgrading external materials to create balanced, well-proportioned homes that sit comfortably within their context. We prioritise improving space and architectural quality without unnecessary increases in footprint or overdevelopment.
As planning agent, we manage the entire process:
Early feasibility and planning strategy
Design development aligned with local authority policy
Preparation of drawings and supporting information
Submission, validation, and liaison with the council
Response to queries and progression to determination
This structured approach reduces risk, improves clarity for planning officers, and increases the likelihood of approval. Our 100 percent success rate for planning applications submitted in 2025 demonstrates the effectiveness of this method.
For homeowners considering bungalow alterations in Dorset, early professional input can significantly improve design quality, ensure compliance, and streamline the planning process from the outset.
