JTS have successfully negotiated the replacement of a two storey house with a two storey dwelling in the Metropolitan Green Belt near Chelmsford, Essex. The proposal followed a previous application, which was refused on grounds of scale. Working with the client, architect and local planning authority, a revised design was prepared. The revised proposal had a similar footprint to the existing building, but with a greater floor area and improved design compared to the existing.
