Securing planning permission is often just the first step of a very complex process. Take this project, our clients had approval to add a pair of buildings to a Victorian terrace on a side garden plot, but the council imposed 19 conditions requiring new surveys and expert advice. So, our challenge was to navigate these conditions, complete the detailed technical design, and coordinate multiple consultants to ensure compliance and readiness for construction.
We took over the project with a clear understanding that attention to detail would be essential to our approach. Our task involved confirming land contamination status, designing a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS), ensuring construction would not harm nearby trees, achieving CO2 emissions at least 35% below 2013 building regulations, and limiting water usage to under 105 litres per person, per day. Additionally, we managed landscape specifications, fencing, and negotiated with Network Rail and the neighbours to coordinate party wall agreements.
By coordinating with tree specialists, energy experts, landscape architects, and other consultants, we satisfied all of the council's conditions. The final design included solar panels to meet energy requirements, and strategic planning ensured minimal environmental impact. Our detailed and patient approach allowed us to meet the high standards demanded by local authorities, demonstrating our capability to handle complex, condition-heavy projects and smoothly progress the project from planning permission to the construction stage.
