Delighted to have secured planning permission for a rural Green Belt site, approving the change of use from B2 to a mixed B2 and B8 scheme. Green Belt proposals are inherently challenging, and this decision reflects a carefully balanced approach - preserving openness while clearly demonstrating economic, functional and policy-led benefits.
The scheme supports rural diversification through the continued and more flexible use of an existing building, secures local employment, and enhances the building's external appearance to better reflect and improve the wider rural setting.
Great to work with KADS Design Ltd, Tutum Consulting and Learn Ecology Ltd to deliver a robust, comprehensive application through a genuinely collaborative, joined-up approach.
A smooth determination process and a really positive outcome. More decisions landing soon - updates to follow ✨
