The Town & Country Planning Act is at the legislative heart of all development in the UK. The implications of planning procedure can be highly controversial and complex. Here at XL Planning Ltd we will give you the important and proper advice before engaging in any building or development work.
we have a vastly experienced team
Often the first stage in any planning and development project involves us completing an appraisal of the potential site or property. This appraisal will look to establish the current and emerging planning policy context, comment on the realistic potential of the site for a range of uses or development and recommend a strategy focussed on successful promotion through the planning and development process.
state-of-the-art software
We offer a full in-house design service; from concept to sketches, to full 3D render and building control drawings. We use state-of-the-art software to show you exactly what your project will look like before you apply for permission and help you visualise the completed construction.
XL planning were employed to cover an existing silage clamp with a new building for the client. This was to help reduce grey water run off from the baled silage and reduce plastic as the bales would not need to be covered to be stored. The location against the main road meant that the building had to be well designed due to its fairly prominent position.
XL planning were employed to submit a reserved matters application on the design and layout of a small housing development of five dwellings. Using a contemporary design which was modern yet practical for all types of families and age ranges, this was achieved.
XL Planning were successful in getting planning permission for a new self-build detached dwelling in the village of Wembworthy. Mid Devon District Council accepted that there was justification for a dwelling outside of a settlement and that the site was in a sustainable location. The self-build policy in the emerging Mid Devon Local Plan proved very useful and allowed our client to get permission for a dwelling in a location where a dwelling would not normally be accepted. The dwelling is subject to a S106 agreement to control its resale.
