Another Planning Success So what’s the secret? Yesterday, we had another successful planning application This continues our 100% record of getting approval The secret is quite simple really... It’s all about being sensible, finding an angle, looking at things differently to what people have before and working within the ‘rules’ Before we bought the property from the owners, the owners put in planning to convert the property into 2 houses It was refused And I’m not surprised The plans involved butchering the frontage It is a Grade II listed building in a conservation area so changing the frontage the way they had planned would totally take away from the character I saw an angle to keep the front as it is (a small shop) and convert the rear to a 1 bedroom flat whilst keeping the 2 flats above as is I was that confident of gaining approval, we purchased the building unconditionally Submitted plans And low and behold, approval was granted The contractor is all lined up and I can’t wait to get this finished and fully tenanted Want to know more? Just send me a message
