Planning and listed building consent granted for alterations to a house in Suffolk

July 31, 2020

CGA has recently secured consent for alterations and replacement extensions to a grade II listed property in Suffolk. Set within an area of outstanding natural beauty, the unique house sits on a promontory on the north side of Martlesham Creek facing south east towards the Deben River Estuary.

The house was built in 1933 and remained in the ownership of the architect Hilda Mason and her sister for their own use until her death in 1955. Hilda Mason is noteworthy as one of only 7 women architects who designed Listed buildings between WW1 & WW2.

Following a pre-app with the local authority, CGA successfully obtained permission for replacement extensions including a modern living room, study and gym. Permission was also granted a number of fabric alterations including the replacement of the existing windows, external insulation and the installation of underfloor heating within the existing house.

CGA are currently preparing a tender package for the construction works with a view to starting onsite late 2020.
