Planning Applications
Plank Drove, Crowland
Waller Planning supported a planning application for a new house in the countryside, a short distance outside the town of Crowland. Planning Officers recommended that the application should be refused, because it was contrary to local policies and would set an unwelcome precedent. The proposed house was a bespoke design by Studio11 Architecture, for a […]
Great North Road, Hatfield
We gained ‘prior approval’ for the change of use of this vacant office building to form 10 residential apartments. This process allowed for the change of use of the building, but no other amendments. In a further planning application we gained permission for alterations to the building which made more efficient use of the space […]
Zither, Brookmans Park
Working with Bryant + Moore Architects, we gained permission for the replacement of a house with a substantially larger (7 bedroom) house in the Green Belt. The original 1930s property had an existing planning permission for a series of extensions. Our client wanted to start again, and build an attractive new house suited to the […]
Station Road, Swineshead
Our client owned a site comprising agricultural land and previously developed land just outside the settlement boundary of Swineshead, Lincolnshire. We worked with Studio 11 Architecture to create a design and layout for the development which was in keeping with the village location. While local policy restricts development outside the settlement boundary, we successfully argued […]
Media Centre, Hertford
Media House was built in the 1950s and formed part of the Addis brush factory until the early 2000s, when it was converted to office use. With demand for office space declining, the Government have introduced a process to allow for their conversion to residential use. We firstly gained approval for the building’s change of […]
Spellbrook, Hertfordshire
We successfully argued that garden land in a rural village in East Hertfordshire was a suitable location for infill residential development. The site is within the Green Belt, and housing was contrary to the policies of the Local Plan, accorded with national policy. We were able to persuade the Council through pre-application discussions that the […]
Broadwater Road, Welwyn Garden City
This office complex in the centre of Welwyn had fallen into internal disrepair. Our client proposed to convert it for residential use. We engaged constructively with the council through pre-application discussions. We then changed the use of the building from office to residential through the prior approval process – which allowed 10 apartments to be […]
Small Drove, Lincolnshire
We put forward an application for a development of 60 homes on the edge of the village of Small Drove. The housing mix we proposed was tailored precisely to the needs of the area – a combination of 1–4 bed houses, bungalows and affordable housing. We also proposed a generous area of public open space […]
