Detailed Planning obtained planning permission for the conversion of a historic coach house at Forty Hill in Enfield into a single dwelling. The property sits within the grounds of Longbourn, a large house with considerable heritage value, so any alterations had to be sensitively designed.
The approved scheme reconfigures the two‑storey coach house to create a self‑contained home, with living and kitchen spaces on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom above. The conversion includes modest extensions and internal alterations, new doors and windows, and sympathetic repairs to the existing fabric. A new roof covering and rooflights ensure the interior is bright while preserving the building’s proportions, and landscaped gardens provide private outdoor space.
Our planning submission included detailed block plans, existing and proposed floor plans, elevations and sections that demonstrated how the design respects the heritage setting and safeguards neighbouring amenity. Enfield Council granted permission, recognising that the proposal brings a redundant outbuilding back into sustainable use. If you’re considering a conversion in a sensitive location, contact Detailed Planning for expert guidance.
