Securing planning permission is one thing — achieving approval for a new Padel court within the grounds of a listed building, deep in the Holme Valley Green Belt, with adjacent tree preservation orders is another thing entirely.
Through a pragmatic and carefully considered planning strategy, we successfully navigated the complex balance between heritage, landscape protection, ecology, trees and modern recreational use.
Planning and Listed Building Consent approved! (the Padel court was built/completed within 2 months of the approvals).
A fantastic example of how knowledge, experience, persistence and intelligent design can unlock opportunities even on the most sensitive sites. If your project faces planning challenges, Paul Matthews Architectural Ltd has the experience and expertise to help make it happen.
