Outline Planning Consent Secured for Two New Dwellings

We were delighted to gain outline planning consent recently for two new dwellings for our clients near Wadebridge.

To achieve consent in a sensitive countryside location, we firstly established a fallback position by applying for a lawful development certificate to confirm that two residential caravans on site were lawful.

We demonstrated that the proposal would be a betterment by replacing the caravans with the new dwellings.

We included plans to demonstrate site layout, massing and scale to demonstrate that the dwellings would fit with the character of the rural surrounding area. A condition was added to ensure the removal of the caravans and some outbuildings at the site leading to a clear overall visual improvement to the site.

Our in-house team of planners, architects and landscape architects work closely together to find the right strategy to achieve the goals of our clients. Sometimes the strategy has several stages involved and may take some time – it’s worth it to get the right result.

Have a challenging site? Let’s explore the right planning strategy together.

Our integrated team of planners, architects and landscape architects can help you find the right strategy, even when it takes time and multiple stages to get there.
Get in touch to discuss your site and opportunities.
