1000 Guineas: Going the Extra Mile

It has taken 2½ years but finally Pearson Planning, Chartered Surveyors has obtained planning permission for 4 houses in the countryside, to replace redundant poultry sheds.  The local planning authority refused permission as it considered the delapidated aray of poultry sheds was not visually intrusive.  At the second attempt, Councillors agreed that permission should also not be granted but took the view that the sheds were intrusive (but not overly intrusive).  The third attempt (with modifications) was also met with contempt by the local planning authority.  However, when Pearson Planning, Chartered Surveyors appealed, the Appointed Person agreed that the sheds were visual intrusive.  Subsequently, on the fourth attempt the Council agreed to grant planning permission subject to a legal agreement (requiring developer contributions towards infrastructure).  The poultry sheds held up to 1,000 guinea fowl.  Developing land in the British countryside is always contentious.  If you would like to discuss an opportunity for rural development then why not contact us?
