Green Belt Planning Permission
Gaining planning permission for development of green belt is never easy. When permission and appeals on a site have already failed, you could say that it is verging on the impossible. Throw in staunch public opposition, a local authority keen to minimise impact, and you certainly have a serious challenge. Crownhall Estates appointed Vail Williams to tackle just such a situation on a site just south of Guildford.
Our approach was to assemble a comprehensive team, including architects, landscaping and ecological consultants, to prepare a planning application that would be supported by the local authority.
Through undertaking detailed pre-application discussions and negotiations, as well as a comprehensive consultation process and attendance at the planning committee meeting, planning permission was secured for 77 residential units. Consequently, the value of the site increased significantly and was sold to a residential developer.
