As part of our partnership with a housing association we have been reviewing opportunities for small housing developments on underused land across a number of counties. This was very modest and awkward bit of land but RCC have managed to get an individually designed dwelling approved. It was a challenging site and we are delighted that the planners agreed that this was an appropriate development making the best use of this bit of underused land.
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.
