When we embark on a professional career with a well defined job description little do we know that the job we were once qualified for will morph into something entirely different.
A fine site visit on Monday morning with the Conservation Officer for this area who always has insightful information to share. This application definitely has legs.
After 38 years of work I am proud of what I have achieved and been fortunate to work on some great projects and met some wonderful people in the industry.
It is a sad day when I have to admit defeat and accept that it is now no longer possible to act as architect and agent to submit planning applications to Dorset Council.
That’s the number of applications for listed building consent and/or planning permission that have been granted so far this year.
A few exciting updates. I have been invited to work on two potential new projects, one on the border between South Somerset and West Dorset and the other in Cattistock.
Good outcomes on Monday include two unanimously supported items at Bridport Town Council Planning Meeting and, quite unrelated, being told by a client I am a marvel.
‘I can’t tell you how thrilled we are with the work that has been done and everyone is out now! Many thanks, we really are delighted with what you have achieved for us.’

This wonderful iconic building with its clock tower under a domed lantern was designed by William Tyler Architect also responsible for the now redundant Dorchester prison.
