We are so pleased to have ๐จ๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ planning permission for five homes outside the settlement boundary near Chelmsford.
This high-quality scheme with elegant landscaping had so many positives to it, but was hampered due to a historic record of refusals for similar schemes on site and a development boundary cutting directly through the plot.
Rather than rehearse old arguments, we identified why earlier schemes failed, mapped the relevant shifts in local and national policy, and built a strategy that dealt with the real points of tension in the planning balance.
We are delighted with the outcome for our client and thank both the Case Officer and 2M Architects for their proactive engagement during the determination process. A useful reminder that edgeโofโsettlement cases often turn on evidence, nuance and timing, not just policy conflict in isolation.
