Anna came up with many fantastic ideas which made my project possible. She took care and time over the drawings from paper to planning. Easy to contact and was great to work with

I purchased a bungalow in Chesterfield in 2024.
I am disabled and wanted to make substantial changes internally, which required removing walls, widening doorways, converting the garage into a bedroom and en-suite shower room, installing a new kitchen and wet room.
MHA produced detailed drawings which took into account my wheelchair requirements (e.g. my turning circles) and provided comprehensive guides for the builder and the other contractors.
MHA produced all the drawings/paperwork etc necessary for the Building Regulations Compliance required by Chesterfield Borough Council.
The work on the bungalow has been completed and my home to be has been transformed!

Upon considering the purchase of a house which was going to be a "project" Anna gave me such sound advice on an extension, access from the road and landscaping the gardens. She gave me access to previous planning applications and was super efficient, supportive and knowledgeable. Many thanks Anna, without doubt my first port of call for any future projects.

Excellent service, very approachable and responsive. Couldn't be happier with Manning Holden. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Anna at Manning Holden Architects has provided an excellent level of service throughout the whole project. Anna listened to the initial project brief I had in mind for my residential property refurbishment and made positive alternative suggestions where issues could possibly arise or would not meet planning requirements. She was knowledgeable about specialist planning requirements associated with properties located in the Peak District National Park. All planning applications were completed on my behalf and were passed without issue. Some minor amendments to the planning application were required during the project and these were submitted well within any deadlines and I was kept informed of the progress in a timely manner. The planning drawings were to a very high standard allowing the building work to commence without issue. I would have no hesitation in recommending Manning Holden Architects to anyone considering using their services.

Anna has taken us on the journey for our extension, from a few initial concepts, through planning approvals and on to building regs drawings and has been fantastic throughout. Always quick to respond and happy adapt the design as things developed. We've met a few of the builders Anna works with regularly and would also highly recommend them as a complete team. Hopefully we'll get the build off the ground one day so we can see the fruits of Anna's efforts!

Anna has prepared plans for an extension for our barn conversion and successfully gained planning permission. We have found her very approachable, professional and always responsive to our questions and requests. We would definitely recommend Anna for her local knowledge and clear communication.

Anna listened to our requirements really carefully and came up with a beautiful plan. We went from a 3 bedroomed, one bathroom house with a tight staircase in the middle of the house, to one with two bathrooms, a completely new stairwell extension and large utility area with extra loo. Anna also provided us with plans to convert above the large double garage, which we’ve been living in since the start of the house conversion. We’re not quite finished yet, but it’s absolutely stunning.

Anna’s sage advice and guidance at the start of the project meant that planning was granted very quickly - not bad for a 1760s farm worker’s cottage in the Derbyshire Dales.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Anna and we would thoroughly recommend her.
