New Dwelling

Large replacement dwelling in the Greenbelt, Berkshire.

Client: Private Client

Status: Completed Summer 2016

JSA secured planning permission for this substantially large replacement dwelling in Green Belt. The property is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt, has single vehicular access and a neighbouring property to the south. Despite these constraints the planning permission on this property was approved, which was an outstanding achievement for JSA Planning.

The site is located outside of a defined settlement boundary in the Metropolitan Green Belt. As such, saved local plan policies GB1, GB2 & GB3 were particularly relevant to this proposal.

Policy GB1 – The applicant has to demonstrate very special circumstances.

Policy GB2 – Unacceptable Development states permission will not be granted for new development within the Green Belt.

Policy GB3 – New Residential Development notes that there is a general presumption against proposals for residential
development except where they meet specific criteria.

JSA Planning provided a strategy to our private client which has provided an excellent opportunity for a new modern dwelling with an improved energy performance which meets modern family living standards and current building regulations.
