Detached contemporary style house
Type: Planning approval
With a failed planning application and appeal under his belt, the owner called in BlackSand on a partnership basis to re-assess and re-evaluate the site prospects with a view to making a successful planning application. On the edge of the Kingswood Estate, and fronting the Green Belt, the site has layers of complicated planning policies to navigate. BlackSand has negotiated with the Local Authority, redesigned the proposal and collated a new and comprehensive planning application in conjunction with ecologist and landscape consultants.
