Yesterday members of the GJP team had the pleasure of visiting Caswell, Swansea to visit one of our longstanding sites – ‘The Dingle’. Known locally as ‘The Secret Garden’, this beautiful site - The Dingle - was discovered and restored to its former glory by the previous clients, who used historical photographs (like the one below) as a template to guide the restoration. Back in 2017, GJP secured full planning permission for the construction of a contemporary dwelling within this CADW Grade II Registered Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest in Wales. This approval is said to ‘protect the significance of the Heritage Asset’ by CADW, which has been upheld due to the continued ongoing care and maintenance of the garden. This achievement was particularly rewarding as it came after an earlier scheme having been refused at full planning application stage and dismissed at appeal in 2016. On our way we passed one of our previous projects - Crown Place – a 500+ student accommodation situated on the waterfront overlooking Swansea Marina. It is always great to pass projects and see them after completion!

📣 Stansgate Planning achieved planning permission for nine houses in the Green Belt near to Alvechurch. Six houses derived from the change of use of historic brick barns, a non-designated heritage asset. Three houses were new build and replaced several modern farm buildings of no historic interest. A fall-back position involved Class Q Prior Approval for change of use of the modern barns to dwellinghouses. 👏

Working on a listed building? Here are Chris' top tips to help you get started: 🔎 Use the National Heritage List for England: Check the NHLE to confirm if your property is listed and access key details. 🏘️ Verify Local Listings: Some buildings may not be nationally listed but could have local heritage protections - always check with your local authority. 🏰 Know What’s Protected: Listed status often extends beyond the building itself, covering outbuildings and other structures. However, don’t forget that the setting of a listed building can also affect developments. 📜 Research the Listing Description: Understand the historical significance and key features you need to preserve. Don’t forget, listings can be updated or revised - always confirm the latest status before planning any changes! Need guidance? Don’t hesitate to get in touch! 🔗 www.planninghouse.co.uk #PlanningHouse #ListedBuildings #HeritageAssets #BuildingConservation #HistoricProperties
