| DSA have worked on a large spectrum of listed buildings including Robert Adams� first London house, Chandos House, now a Grade One Listed Building. The practice has experience and an excellent record of obtaining Planning and Listed Building Consent. DSA also carry out historical research to support building and funding applications and have a good working relationship with established craftsmen required to carry out specialist work. Woodcock lodge Woodcock Lodge was a derelict country house originally built as an Elizabethan hunting lodge for Hatfield House. It was substantially extended and altered in the Victorian era. DSA purchased the dwelling, which had been very neglected and converted it into 5 units of accommodation. The parkland setting and integrity of the large house in landscaped grounds with a bluebell wood and �square� moat has been retained and enhanced. The value of the property has been substantially appreciated.
