We had previously been involved in a more intensive proposal for flats on this corner site but our clients had asked us to pursue a different proposal for houses rather than flats. RCC worked extensively with the architects and the clients on what turned out to be a more complex proposal even though there were less unit numbers. There then followed negotiations with the local planning authority which include planning, urban design and conservation officers and finally we now have the approval . We are delighted with the resulting development and look forward to seeing the site being built out.

Office to residential conversions
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.
New Park Street
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
Aughton
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.
