The Denes 3

Planning consultancy services

Our understanding of planning law and precedent means we have secured planning consent for a wide range of properties and developments. We work on both large scale residential developments in villages and beyond as well as smaller scale residential developments such as infills and edge of settlement proposals. We also develop strategies to obtain permission for new dwellings of exceptional quality under Paragraph 80, the residential conversion of commercial and agricultural buildings under Class Q permitted development rights and use Prior Notification applications to secure planning permission to create new agricultural buildings.
