Chris and Emily recently enjoyed a site visit in #Ponteland, where we’re working with a client who plans to build a new house, replacing a dilapidated dwelling that’s been an eyesore and a target of anti-social behaviour, fly tipping, and arson. The client, who lives locally and owns a nearby restaurant, aims to refresh the property while staying close to work. The new home will reflect local architecture, using buff-coloured stone to blend with Ponteland’s character.

If you're expanding your business premises, understanding when a change of use requires planning permission is essential! Here are a few key tips from Chris at Planning House to help guide you: 🔍 Check Your Existing Use Class Start by identifying your property’s current use class. The flexible E-Class may allow changes without permission, but shifts to or from other use classes could still require approval. 📜 Review Local Planning Policies National guidelines are key, but local authorities often have their own policies on changes of use and extensions. Always check your local development plan to stay compliant. 🏗️ Consider the Impact on Neighbours & Infrastructure Changes that affect traffic, noise, or access may trigger objections or additional planning requirements. Plan ahead to address any concerns early on. Navigating change of use doesn’t have to be complicated.

This week is National Recycle Week, and while recycling remains the best option for reducing waste, we recognise that in today’s society, some waste is unavoidable. That’s where Energy from Waste (EfW) steps in – transforming non-recyclable rubbish into a valuable source of renewable energy! ⚡🌍 EfW offers a sustainable solution by converting waste into electricity, but developers face challenges when it comes to site selection, planning, and gaining community approval. At Planning House, we’re here to help you navigate these complexities. Check out our article, 'A Developer's Guide to Energy from Waste,' to learn more about the future of EfW and its role in waste management. ➡️ https://loom.ly/TFZz5aE #RecycleWeek #PlanningHouse #EfW #WasteManagement #EnergyFromWaste #PlanningConsultant
