New Build
Infill developments are increasingly common at the moment. People with additional land which they do not use or need can often prove viable for development (depending on an assessment of the area). Local authorities often struggle to meet their target new housing needs, so it can be an efficient way to make up the numbers. It can also be a great source of income for property owners, either to develop the plot themselves, or even to sell as a building plot with planning permission.
​
Recently, I have assisted a couple of clients with some slightly different infill developments, which are shown below as examples. If you need help with a new-build which is a little more personal, I am also well equipped to help with designs for your own new-build home.
See the below images for a couple of examples:
Full Planning Permission
This is a project for a private client who owns an house which they let out. The property has a large garden to the side which seemed almost as though there should have originally been a house built here.
​
The drawings to the side include: a site constraints plan, which takes into account the local authority's design guide.
​
The planning application which was approved in January included further drawings and documents. The project has since progressed through to a building regulations plan approval.
Outline Planning Permission
Some clients may have an existing plot with space that they may consider developing. It can also make sense to sell the plot to someone else who will develop it instead.
​
This project in Fareham has recently been submitted for Outline Planning Permission - this is different to Full Planning Permission, as an approval would be for the principle of the development only.
​
This establishes that the site is a viable development opportunity and therefore adds value to potential buyer, who would then submit further details for a Reserved Matters application.
