Maisey Farm

RCC worked closely with PKA Architects who were commissioned to design a new classical country house just outside of Marlborough. As shown in the photographs, the site consisted of a complex of farm buildings and a number of houses along the ridge line. The proposal was to demolish all bar one of the dwellings and some agricultural buildings and build a new dwelling in their place. This new dwelling would be linked to a courtyard of buildings which would provide an annexe, ancillary accommodation and garaging. The extracts of drawings and 3D images shown were all prepared by PKA.

Due to the scale of the proposed development and sensitive siting in a very attractive landscape setting (the site is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the application was carefully presented with a robust planning case. A number of other specialist consultants were used to deal with landscape impact and ecological matters etc.

Even once the comprehensive application was submitted further extensive negotiations were required with the council, the result however was an approval and work is now well underway.

Richard and his team navigated us through a complex Class Q application, converting a number of steel frame agricultural buildings into dwellings. Once this was approved, we then successfully obtained full planning permission using the Class Q as the fallback position.

Throughout the process RCC have offered thorough and practical advice. They have been meticulous with every detail and we always had full confidence in them to help us reach our ambitions for the site.

We received regular updates whilst the applications were under consultation and Richard managed the communication with the council professionally and in a timely manner.

We are incredibly grateful for all your hard work, thank you.

After doing a lot of research on planning consultants, we felt Richard Cosker and his team were best placed to help us achieve planning permission for our new build house.

It was a complicated application as the land was classed as agricultural with a Boarding Cattery business running on the site too.

Richard and Jenny are so knowledgeable and professional, and the planning statement they submitted left little room for the council to argue a negative outcome! We were granted outline planning permission for a 3 bedroom house, followed a few months later by full planning permission for our dream house.

We cannot recommend this company enough, very happy clients, thank you!

RCC Town Planning have been unreservedly helpful throughout the whole process of planning. They are always very friendly and completely professional. Our application was by no means straight forward.

They work brilliantly with all other professionals involved, architects, engineers, etc, a real team effort, making sure all points are covered by the relevant parties and never missing a small detail that add to and might make a difference to the success of the application.

Their own report was also excellent, gained by their wide experience and knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
