Old Wolverton, Milton Keynes

Precured consent having instructed to pursue an appeal for a new chalet bungalow in the grounds of a local interest building or a ‘non-designated heritage asset’ in the Southwell conservation area.
Newstead Abbey Park, Ravenshead
Successfully demonstrated, with the Council agreeing, that a swimming pool building in the grounds of a mansion house in the historic Newstead Abbey Registered Park and Gardens which is also located in the Nottinghamshire green belt could be constructed under ‘permitted development’ allowances.
Torquay, Devon
Gained consent on a five-year seasonal basis to site an iconic 50-metre-high observation wheel within the historic Princess Gardens along the Torquay seafront. The Princess Gardens are on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and have been included on the ‘at risk’ register as restoration works are required.
The Wheel as a visitor attraction draws people to Torquay and boosts local spending. Whilst acknowledging that the Wheel will have a significant visual presence in the historic environment, the Council were persuaded by the case we put forward to grant permission because it would deliver funds required to restore the Listed water fountain. Significant weight was given in the planning balance to the public benefits arising from ‘conservation gain’ that would be delivered as part of the scheme and help to secure the long-term future of the Listed water fountain.
Nottingham City
Successfully gained planning consent for the demolition of an existing dwelling and the construction of two new family homes which together take the appearance of a traditional villa in the Corporation Oaks and Elm Avenue Conservation Area part of the city.
