Knowledge sharing with the wider sector.💡 We attended Harworth Group plc’s Focus on Planning conference yesterday in Rotherham to learn and discuss more on the emerging trends, challenges and opportunities across the planning process. Our director Richard Walshaw took part in the ‘Working Collaboratively On Good Design: A Masterplan Perspective’ panel session, which focused on how to create a vision for a major site and how to consider the opportunities and constraints that influence a masterplan. It was great to meet with and hear from our industry peers on a range of topics, and we look forward to connecting again at future planning-focused events. 🤝

Celebrating the young people shaping our industry’s future this National Apprenticeship Week.💡 Meet our apprentice planner, Cam Wood, who is in the first of a two-year Masters in Urban Planning (MSc Urban Planning (DA)) course (Level 7) at Sheffield Hallam University. 📚 Cam’s journey has been included as part of Destination Chesterfield’s round-up of apprenticeships across the region, focusing on why he became an apprentice planner and how it has helped develop his skills and knowledge. 🗣 “I chose the apprenticeship route because it provides an exciting opportunity to gain valuable experience in my role while complementing my studies, ultimately enhancing my overall understanding of planning. “The apprenticeship enables me to learn at an academic level whilst putting my newly acquired knowledge into practice at the same time.” The article also features comments from our associate director Sarah Wills on why apprenticeships are important not only to nineteen47, but also the wider planning and property profession.

We accomplish more by working together... and that's precisely what our planning team did last week when they came together in Sheffield to review recent planning updates and what that means for our clients.   Our team has a rich and varied experience of working with LPA's across the midlands and the north of England and we continue to discuss the practical implications of the updated NPPF and related housing land supply positions with policy and DM officers. We have also been tracking the number Grey Belt decisions that continue to emerge. If this is relevant to you, please reach out to our team and we would be happy to share our knowledge. After exercising our mental capacity, it was time for some fresh air and a friendly (at times!) game of Padel followed by tennis with our very own coach Cam Wood, to decide once and for all whether the traditional lawn game or the new smaller court contender would win out. No overall agreement, other than that action photos should not be shared on LinkedIn (so the stock image will have to do).   #team #planning #newdevelopment

We’re delighted to see nineteen47’s very own Cam Wood joining the YEP Sheffield committee, taking on the baton from Joshua Foster! Can’t wait to see the exciting and creative networking events the new team has in store for 2025.

From Vision to Reality It’s always incredibly rewarding to see projects we’ve been a part of come to life. This particular development on the outskirts of York which we worked on with Architects ByOthers is a fantastic example of what can be achieved with a clear strategy, determination, and the right expertise. Our team at nineteen47 was privileged to support our client in securing planning permission for a new dwelling within the Green Belt. By leveraging permitted development rights, establishing a solid fallback position, and executing a carefully planned three-stage planning strategy, we were able to help turn a dream into reality. Achieving this outcome required perseverance, creativity, and a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in Green Belt development—but the result speaks for itself. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this project a success! #GreenBeltDevelopment #PlanningStrategy #nineteen47 #PermittedDevelopment #ArchitectureAndPlanning

Supporting the Government's drive towards new housing delivery, we are delighted that on behalf of honey and HARRON HOMES LIMITED, we have successfully secured Reserved Matters consent for 315 dwellings at Upperthorpe Road, Killamarsh. Following the grant of outline permission on appeal in June 2023, our planning, design and visuals team were engaged to support the reserved matters application. Given the controversial nature of the scheme historically, our team worked closely with North East Derbyshire District Council (NEDDC) to provide a high quality development, which meets the design principles established under the outline permission. We are particularly proud of the collaborative approach to secure this permission under delegated powers. A huge thank you to all the team involved and the support from consultants including FDA Landscape. It’s been a pleasure working alongside such a talented project team, and we’re excited to see this fantastic development come to life!
