Project Overview

The development sought permission for the details of access, appearance, landscaping, layout, scale for the erection of 77 no. dwellings with associated roads, footways, parking, drainage, landscaping and public open space pursuant to an existing outline consent. The site, which had both outline and reserved matters approval was purchased by Backhouse Housing who sought to amend the existing reserved matters consent to allow the implementation of their own house types on the site. 

Our Role

We prepared a detailed S73 application in order to revise the approved house type designs with that of Backhouse’s. This involved slight amendments to the overall layout, amendments to the on-plot landscaping and new house type designs with public open space being implemented by others. We successfully set out that the proposed alterations would be permissible under the scope of the S73 application, utilising established case law to support our case. Through negotiations with the Council we successfully received planning permission along with associated discharge of conditions to allow Backhouse to implement their scheme.
