DHA Planning Group are delighted to have received notification from The Planning Inspectorate that two residential appeals have been allowed in the district of Sevenoaks. Working on behalf of Canham Homes, the two proposals for redevelopment of Oast House Nursery, #Ash were prepared following extensive pre-application engagement with Sevenoaks District Council. Despite two comprehensive Officer recommendations to grant #planningpermission, both were overturned by the Council’s Development Management Committee contrary to their advice. As part of the subsequent #planningappeal process, #DHAPlanning were able to successfully demonstrate that the schemes would represent #appropriatedevelopment in the #GreenBelt, were of a high-quality design and would ultimately be in accordance with the #DevelopmentPlan. In addition to leading the #planningstrategy, DHA also provided detailed financial #viabilityassessments and #transportstatements that were needed to underpin the applications. Our thanks go to the consultant team, including Daisy Noble of Counsel, PJC Consultancy Ltd , PWP Architects, Invicta Arboriculture and HD Marketing UK. For further information, please contact DHA's David Bedford (Planning), Danielle Lawrence (Viability) or Paul Lulham (Highways). #dhaplanning #dhatransport #viability #planningappeal #planningpermission #greenbelt #appropriatedevelopment #sustainabledevelopment #architecture #highqualitydesign #newhomes

For planners, developers and built environment professionals to advocate for best outcomes and respond to contemporary issues, planning standards need to be up to date and fit for purpose. As part of the State Planning Office’s review of current planning controls, ERA has led the development of a Draft Recommendations Report for improving residential standards in Tasmania. The report puts forward a huge range of potential improvements to the current controls. It considers current housing, future demand and best practice opportunities to respond to challenges and encourage the type of housing Tasmania needs. Putting our team’s experience towards improved liveability and affordability for Tasmanian communities is why we do what we do. We’ve been lucky to partner with Studio GL | Architecture & Urban Design and HIP V. HYPE and work with members of the Technical Reference Group to put forward these recommendations. The draft report and factsheets that summarise key sections are currently open for consultation. Your feedback is vital to refinding future implementations. To have your say, take the 10-minute survey or make a written submission before Friday 6 September: https://lnkd.in/gVxC3XYD #planningpolicy #residentialstandards #tasmanianhousing #lutruwita

Planning permission has been refused for 162 dwellings on land in Cranleigh, Surrey. This s.78 planning inquiry related to proposed housing development beyond the built-up area boundary.

The decision shows the importance of time depth in a valued landscape, the rural setting of listed buildings and developing in accordance with an adopted spatial strategy.

CT Planning has successfully secured planning permission for the change of use from ancillary accommodation to a separate dwelling in Elmhurst, Lichfield. The application site is situated within the West Midlands Green Belt and the Cannock Chase SAC Zone of Influence. Although the local planning authority deemed the application acceptable, objections were raised by the County Highway Authority. They believed the proposal would fail to demonstrate how sustainable transport could be achieved. Consequently, the application was reported to the Planning Committee. Louise Hinsley MRTPI successfully argued that, on the balance, any potential harm to highway safety stemming from the proposed dwelling's unsustainable location is outweighed by the policy support for the reuse of rural buildings, to deliver residential development to positively contribute to the Districts Housing supply and the environmental benefits arising from the reuse of the environmental capital invested in the existing building. As a result, the planning permission was granted based on this argument.

A planning inspector has dismissed a section 78 appeal (3330618) against Guildford Borough Council’s refusal to grant planning permission for the demolition of existing Cathedral Close dwellings and erection of 124 residential dwellings with associated works. The Decision follows a nine-day inquiry held in March 2024. The appeal site, which is in the immediate vicinity of the Grade II* listed Guildford Cathedral, is allocated ‘for approximately 100 homes (C3)’. The main issue at the heart of the appeal was the effect of the proposal to the special interest and significance of heritage assets (particularly the Cathedral), with reference to the design and landscape context. Inspector Tom Bristow concluded that the proposal would result in a clear adverse effect to the setting and significance of the Cathedral with reference to design and landscape context (§98). He accepted the Council’s position that the proposal would cause less than substantial heritage harm to the Cathedral towards the middle of the spectrum within that categorisation (§100). The Inspector found that no material considerations in favour of the proposal justified allowing the appeal (§129). The Appeal Decision underlines that the allocation of a site for development is not carte blanche for any development, especially in circumstances where sensitive landscape and heritage considerations are involved. The question of whether a proposal sensitively and appropriately responds to the requirements of such allocations often requires a nuanced and thoroughly evidenced answer. This case also illustrates that there can be a proper role for the consideration of alternative approaches on an appeal site, particularly where the site is allocated and where there is a policy requirement to demonstrate a clear and convincing justification for heritage harm arising (§119-128). Tom Cosgrove KC and Jack Barber were instructed by Michael Elford of Guildford Borough Council. The successful local planning authority assembled the following team for the inquiry: Kelly Jethwa and Laura Howard of Guildford Borough Council (giving evidence, respectively, on Planning and Housing Land Supply), Nigel Barker-Mills of Barker-Mills Conservation (Heritage), Amanda Reynolds of AR Urbanism (Design and Masterplanning), and Tanya Kirk of Hankinson Duckett Associates (Landscape).

Retrospective 2 Storey Rear Extension Planning Appeal Wychavon Council Wychavon District Council refused this application 1st February after originally validating it on 7th December. There reasons were stated as; In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the scale and design of two storey side extension would fail to represent a high design quality. The rear extension fails to incorporate a design break and shows a higher ridge height than the original dwelling and does not therefore appear as subordinate to the host dwelling. This will increase in the visual massing of the property from its original form. As a result of these factors, the proposal is considered to be contrary to Section 8 of the South Worcestershire Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2018 and Part viii of Policy SWDP 21 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016. The Appeal Statement for this case that is detailed in the video, and it was produced specifically to overcome the refusal reasons issued by Wychavon District Council for this application. As with many of these types of refusals, the reasons are very subjective and as such require a comprehensive and robust detailed appeal statement. Never under-estimate the level of detail needed, covering policies both locally and nationally and where possible brining other approvals and appeals into the argument. I explain in detail in the video what and how to achieve this. The Planning Inspectorate visited the site on 14th June and issued the decision on 13th July. We are pleased to share that this appeal was successful. https://lnkd.in/euWhXwsB
