RCC had previously been involved in an approval for a one and a half storey dwelling in this area where there are restrictions on the amount of development permitted following a previously negative pre-application response from the council for a two storey dwelling. Once the previous permission had been granted the clients had requested that we explore the full two storey option for the site further. We therefore presented a robust planning case in support of the amended proposal and were delighted when approval was granted under delegated powers.
