Our clients had previously submitted a pre-application enquiry into the council and received a negative response with officers objecting to the principle of the residential use in this countryside location. RCC were asked to assist and we put together a strong case in support of the proposal and setting out a strong case to the council. That case has now been accepted by the council and permission granted.
Latest residential case studies:
In 2013 the Government introduced new permitted development rights to allow office buildings to be converted to residential use. This was for an initial temporary period of 3 years but they subsequently made the new rights permanent in 2016.
RCC was brought on board by PKA Architects when they were approached by a developer proposing a mixed use development on a vacant site in Devizes town centre. The site accommodated a single storey clinic building and car park but historically there would have been a building on the main road frontage
RCC were approached regarding the possibility of attaining planning permission for an additional dwelling in the garden of our clients’house. It was an extremely timely approach, as Wiltshire Council was in the process of changing their local planning policy document.
