A super-modern overhaul of a bungalow in a sleepy village has been approved after previously being rejected and dubbed 'alien'. The new home design, filed by engaged couple Sam Elgie and Trisha Pegg, will see a dramatic facelift and an extra floor added.
The development has finally won approval following two planning applications and three committee meetings. The duo can now convert and build what will be their own home for their family of six.
Miss Pegg admitted the initial rejection was hard to take. But the couple were able to reach a compromise after liaising with their Derbyshire neighbours over the concerns, DerbyshireLive reports.
She said: "We were gutted. It really surprised us as we felt what we had planned in was spectacular and would really add to the beautiful area we live in. Once rejected, we spoke with the neighbours to understand their concerns and made amendments so as not to cause an impact on them."
