Planning Submitted | Leominster ✅🏡

We’ve proudly submitted a planning application to help transform a historic building in Leominster, a Grade II listed hotel in the heart of the town centr, for modern use.

The proposals include:

👷🏼‍♂️ Restoring the external façade and roof
👷🏼‍♂️ Change of use of the existing hotel
👷🏼‍♂️ Ground floor hospitality space for restaurants, cafés, or similar uses
👷🏼‍♂️ 12 new first and second floor flats, including a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom homes

In addition, we are proposing the demolition of a newer event space to make way for carefully designed heritage-style new build spaces, including:

👷🏼‍♂️ A two-storey block containing 4 x 2-bedroom flats
👷🏼‍♂️ A pair of semi-detached mews houses

The full scheme will also include cycle storage, bin storage, and parking for 19 vehicles.

Projects like this require a careful balance, protecting the history and character of the building while creating practical spaces that work for modern living and future investment.

We look forward to sharing progress as the project develops.

Planning Submitted ✅🏡

Some projects may look simple on paper, but heritage and conservation areas always require a much more considered approach.

This Heritage semi-detached dwelling in a conservation area in Derbyshire has recently had a planning application submitted for a heritage double garage within a conservation area.

When working in locations like this, every detail matters, from design and scale to materials and how the new structure complements the existing character of the property.

It’s never just about adding space.

It’s about making sure any new addition feels like it belongs, protects the surrounding environment, and meets planning expectations from the start.

We’re now awaiting the decision over the next month and look forward to seeing the project move forward.

Some projects are about more than construction, they’re about shaping the future of a city.

This project has the potential to turn a long-underused part of Sheffield city centre into something far bigger, a new public park, a heritage destination, and a space that reconnects people with the city’s history.

It’s not just about creating green space.

It’s about unlocking future development, increasing footfall, supporting local businesses, and bringing new life back into one of Sheffield’s most historic areas.

Places like this matter.
They create identity.
They create investment.
They create reasons for people to stay, visit, and build around them.

For developers, businesses, and the wider community, projects like this show what happens when regeneration is done properly, not just building for today, but creating something with long-term value.
Sheffield has some incredible history.

What do you think makes the biggest difference in city regeneration, preserving heritage, creating better public spaces, or unlocking new development opportunities? 🤔

Building Safety Remediation Update – What Does It Mean for the Built Environment? 🏢

The Government’s latest Building Safety Remediation data shows that thousands of residential buildings across England are still progressing through remediation programmes relating to unsafe cladding and associated fire safety risks.

While significant progress has been made, the figures highlight the ongoing importance of building safety compliance, fire strategy considerations, and early design coordination across the built environment.

For developers, landlords, and property owners, understanding building safety requirements at the earliest stages of a project can help reduce delays, manage risk, and support smoother project delivery.

Fire safety, material specification, remediation strategy, and compliance requirements continue to play a key role in both new developments and existing buildings.

At MJB Technical Services, we understand the importance of integrating design, compliance, and regulatory requirements from the outset to help projects progress efficiently and with confidence.

Improving How a Home Works 🏡

Not every great project needs planning permission. Sometimes, the biggest difference comes from rethinking the space you already have.

In Nottingham, we’re working on the internal reconfiguration of a heritage 4-bedroom detached home to create a layout that works far better for modern living.

The project includes:

👷🏼‍♂️ Creating a larger kitchen with better access to the garden
👷🏼‍♂️ Adding an additional ground floor shower room
👷🏼‍♂️ Reconfiguring internal services and layout to improve flow and functionality

While this project doesn’t require planning permission, it still requires careful technical design, building regulations, and construction support to ensure everything is completed properly.

Good design isn’t always about extending, it’s often about making existing spaces work smarter.

We’re now supporting the client through building regulations and the next stage of construction to bring the vision to life.

How We Helped Unlock 9 New Build Homes Worth £6 Million ✍🏻

Nine new build homes were fully built, ready to move into, and should have been ready for market.

But there was one major problem, they couldn’t be sold.

We were brought in to help the client navigate outstanding planning conditions, building regulations, and compliance requirements that needed to be resolved before the properties could be marketed and sold.

What should have been a completed development had become a costly standstill.

After building trust with the client through previous projects, we worked closely with them to resolve the issues and move the development forward.

Over the past year, we’ve:

• Released all but one planning condition
• Secured building regulations certificates for all 9 properties
• Finalised the structural warranties
• Worked with Sheffield City Council to complete the final outstanding condition

The result?

The properties can now be marketed, sold, and finally move forward as intended 😀💛

How We Helped Secure Planning for a Heritage Cottage in Symonds Yat 🏠

Some projects take more than good design, they take patience, persistence, and a lot of problem solving.

This project in Symonds Yat involved the conversion and extension of an existing bothy to create a 1-bedroom heritage cottage.

Sounds straightforward…

Except the property sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where planning requirements are far stricter and every detail is closely scrutinised.

From design constraints to planning challenges and site limitations, this became a long and complex process.

After more than a year of navigating the planning system, we successfully secured approval.

We’re now working with the client to submit a conditions application to discharge pre-commencement conditions, the final approvals required before any work can begin on site.

It’s a detailed stage, but a critical one in turning planning approval into a deliverable project.

We’ve recently been providing structural BIM services to support Sheffield City Council on SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) projects.

These types of projects require a high level of coordination from day one.

BIM plays a key role in that.

It gives every stakeholder, from designers through to contractors, a clear, coordinated model to work from, helping reduce risk, avoid clashes, and keep projects moving efficiently.

Alongside this, producing detailed structural drawings at tender and construction stage ensures everything is ready for procurement and delivery without delays.

It’s the kind of work that often sits behind the scenes…

But when it’s done properly, it makes a huge difference to how smoothly a project runs on site.

And ultimately, how quickly spaces like this can be delivered for the people who need them most.

Transforming a Family Home for Modern Living 🏡

This project involves a carefully designed extension to a 3-bedroom detached home, transforming it into a spacious 4 double-bedroom property, including a new ensuite shower room.

The goal was simple: create a home that works better for modern family life.

The plans include:

🏡 A large open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space
🏡 Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening onto a spacious patio
🏡 A covered outdoor canopy to create seamless indoor / outdoor living
🏡 A flat roof extension with a green roof for water storage and improved views from the first-floor bedrooms above

It’s a great example of how thoughtful design can completely change how a home feels and functions, bringing in more light, more space, and better everyday living.

The property is now watertight, with internal works currently underway, and completion is expected within the next couple of months.

Looking forward to sharing the finished result.
