“We at West Orchard Homes Limited cannot thank The Smart House Extension Team enough for getting our recent planning application over the line. Securing approval for a large 8-bed Sui Generis HMO conversion in Cathays is a notoriously difficult process, but the team handled it masterfully from start to finish. This was far from a straightforward site. We faced heavy pushback, including 10 resident objections and formal opposition from three local councillors citing overdevelopment and parking concerns. However, the team did not panic; they broke every single element down pragmatically. They expertly navigated Cardiff's strict cumulative impact policies, utilizing mapping data to successfully prove that the HMO concentration within our 50m radius was actually only 4%, comfortably below the strict 20% threshold for the Cathays ward. They also brilliantly managed the practical design constraints. They successfully justified our zero off-street car parking provision to the highways department while seamlessly updating the layout to include a secure 8-space cycle store. To top it off, they smoothly integrated the new mandatory Green Infrastructure requirements—proposing practical solutions like a flowering lawn mix and a Schwegler nest box—which completely satisfied the planning officers. To get a positive decision on such a complex and highly contested application is impressive enough. But to walk away with an approval that has hardly any conditions attached—just six standard points regarding time limits, approved plans, waste, and cycle storage —is a true testament to the quality and thoroughness of their upfront work. If you have a difficult planning application or a challenging site, The Smart House Extension Team are exactly the professionals you need in your corner. Highly recommended!”

“JAS completed a huge domestic project for us in 2023 in Fishponds including a loft conversion with dormer to create a master bedroom with en-suite and a large rear extension including a new super room with a kitchen, dining area and lounge space, plus downstairs toilet and laundry room with bi-fold doors across the back. We are now 2 years on and this transformation of our family home has been life changing. All work was done to a superb standard with a thoughtful kitchen design that we love using and high quality finishes across the project that look as good today as when the project completed in Autumn 2023. JAS kept to time and budget and Tony who led the team working on our site was outstanding, ensuring every part of the project was done to the highest standard exactly how we wanted it, whilst keeping our home habitable for the family during these huge works. The team were on site every day on time and always left the site clean and tidy. Sam was helpful and communicative as project manager so any changes to costs were transparent and clear with an app to help us track the project progress and invoicing. We are delighted with our building project, JAS turned our 1930s semi into our dream home.”
