Approval on a complex Green Belt site in just 7 weeks.
Back in April, we shared that we’d submitted planning applications for 7 self-build homes across the North West.
On Friday, we secured planning permission at the first attempt for 3 bespoke homes ranging from 7,500–9,500 sq ft on a complex Green Belt site.
Not only was the application approved, but it was determined in just 7 weeks, ahead of the standard 8-week target.
Even better, all pre-commencement requirements were agreed as part of the process, allowing work to begin on site this week.
This is a great example of what can be achieved through a clear planning strategy, collaborative working with the local authority, and a design-led approach from day one.
Complex Green Belt sites can be challenging, but with the right strategy they can unlock exceptional opportunities.
We can’t wait to see this one begin on site this week and watch these homes take shape.
