Understanding the Planning Application Spectrum

The realm of planning applications encompasses a diverse array of submissions, each tailored to specific development needs. In terms of developing a property you can utilise a blend of permitted dvelopment rights as a householder and more formal planning applications to deliver a broad range of extensions from loft conversions to outbuilding and garages. The range fo plannig applications is as follows:

1. Full Planning Applications: These are comprehensive proposals detailing all aspects of a development, from design to landscaping. They are essential for significant projects like new builds or extensive property modifications.

2. Outline Planning Applications: Aimed at establishing the fundamental principles of a development without delving into intricate details, these applications are typically used to gauge the feasibility of larger projects.

3. Reserved Matters Applications: Following an approved outline application, this submission addresses specific details such as layout, scale, and appearance.

4. Listed Building Consent: Required for any alterations to structures recognized for their historical or architectural significance, ensuring that modifications preserve the building's heritage.

5. Certificates of Lawfulness: These certificates ascertain the legality of existing or proposed developments, providing clarity on whether planning permission is necessary.

6. Prior Notifications: For certain developments, especially those permitted under specific regulations, developers must notify the local authority before commencing work.

Case Study: Solihull Redevelopment

A notable example of En-Plan's expertise is the redevelopment of a property on Yoxall Road in Solihull. The project entailed the extension of the property utilising a Certiifcate of Lawfulness Application to ensure consent for the new hip to gable loft conversion and the conversion fo the garage to a new bedroom. We also obtained approval to convert the property into a House in Multipe Occupation.

Fom here En-Plan gained apporval for a first floor side extension above the agarge for a new bedroom here and then progressed to a new rear extension to gain apporval for a four metre rear extension.

Following on from this we added a Prior Approval Larger Home Extension at ground floor to extend the existing kitchen inot the rear garden and allows residents more communal space in the future.

This package of applications will allow this property development to deliver the amximum amount of bedrooms with the minimum amount of control that the Planning Authority can exert over the development. What this demonstrate is thta it can be best to use a blend of planning applications to obtain the optimum devlopment and as established Planning Consultants in Solihull we can asist you with finding the unique blend that works for you.
