At the present time we are awaiting some information from the council with regard to potential for the site. In the meantime, we thought it would be useful to give an overview of the processes we undertake and services we provide to help secure the application. As this ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
When submitting a planning application the Design and Access statement is sometimes looked upon as a basic document that simply has to state that the design is in keeping with the area and there is a good access to the site.
Although the essential elements of the Design and Access statement are in the title they are more complex than many give them credit for. By undertaking pre-application discussions with the planning officers the essential elements of the statement can be decided upon at this stage. These essential elements include the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well if this is you and the property you have bought is new or even built within the past 50 years before you make any changes it is prudent to check the planning permission granted upon the property and any subsequent permissions since construction. This is important in many ways, primarily to ensure that you are aware of any restrictions which have been placed on future development of your property, for example the right to extend the property or change the garage from garage to living accommodation.
The removal of these ...]]></description>

An example of this is in conservation areas where the rights to change widows can be removed to preserve the character of the area. Following the changes to the Use Classes order which allows single residential dwellings to be changed to houses in multiple occupation a change to the right to compensation following the removal of this right was also made.

The Bill seeks to empower communities through the introduction of Neighbourhood Development Orders, Development Plans and Community Right to Build Orders. Changes to the planning application process could see developers being forced to consult with the local community, possibly with a prescribed threshold to demonstrate that consultation has been adequate and fair.

		<description><![CDATA[Following the article we posted last week on Sustainable Development Considerations, we stumbled across an article on the Telegraph Newspaper Website entitled &#8220;Ten Reasons Why Historic Houses are Green&#8220;.
The article raised some very interesting considerations and the features that it discusses are worth taking into account when planning your next planning project. We discuss a few of them here:
Thatched roofs - The thickness of the thatch, minimum 1.5ft allows the temperature within the building to be kept at constant level so you are not getting the sunshine heating it up ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest hurdles to starting a project is actually getting started itself! Many home owners in Lowestoft and the surrounding area have an idea of the type of extension they would like to make to their home but are unsure about who to speak to in order to get the project started. To someone undertaking their first project that process can be quite daunting.
East of England Planning Consultants was established to make achieving your planning as simple, pain-free and transparent as possible. We break our process down into ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The initial stages of an application involve a lot of determined hard work on behalf of our clients. We need to investigate the planning policies that each individual planning authority applies, we liaise with planning officers, undertake several site surveys, consultant with statutory agencies and significant other activities essential to compiling your application.
Once your application leaves our office and arrives with the local planners the decision making process begins.
In parished areas, usually small and medium sized villages, the first people to make comment on your application are usually parish councils. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent years the role of sustainability has become more and more important in the determination of a submitted application. Members and officers presiding over a Development Control committee will hear how each new proposed development has &#8220;sustainability&#8221; and &#8220;sensitivity to the environment&#8221;. However, for the home or land owner looking to seek approval for development there is sometimes a question about what this actually means to them.
At East of England Planning Consultants sustainability is an important aspect of what we do, not least because the area we serve also ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that making a planning application to improve your existing house or seek planning approval can be one of the best investments you can make. Even though East of England Planning Consultants pride themselves on striving to deliver excellent service and value for money, some of the costs incurred can be significant to many people. Those costs can later be recovered through the future sale of either property or development land but the initial expenditure is still a burden to bear.

		<description><![CDATA[In these depressed housing market conditions there is a good argument to be made for extending your existing property rather than looking to purchase a newer one.
The benefits of staying in a property that you have owned for, say, 10 years are supported by the equity that has been gained by rises in the housing market over that time.
This equity can readily be accessed to provide for an extra bedroom and extended dining or living space.
Obviously there are physical and legislative limitations to the size of extension that can be ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At East of England Planning Consultants, we understand that design is of the utmost importance when delivering your application to the Local Planning Authority for determination. Having your application decided upon under delegated officer powers is one thing but having the application determined at a development control committee is something else altogether.
To help present an application to locally elected Members of a council, East of England Planning Consultants use the latest computer generated images to convey as much of your application to committee as possible without a site visit. Being ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many of us who have a garage, or similar outbuilding, that is now longer used for any purpose other than storing belongings that we may have not used in years.
It is painfully all too apparent that many of us also have children living at home who, in normal economic circumstances, should have left the nest and set up home on their own. To get a footing on the housing ladder in these times is increasingly difficult, despite banks returning profits in the many billions.
The under-utilised garage could offer ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whilst the Government has been cited as blocking the redevelopment of large back gardens, the facts of the matter are rather less straightforward.
Just as variations exist in Local Planning Authority planning policy from authority to authority, so does the need to bring matters into some form of consistency.
In the so called &#8220;Garden Grabbing&#8221; legislation, the Government has set to bring a halt to the classification of gardens as brown field sites. This does make sense &#8211; there is a clear difference between a derelict industrial site and a lawn, couple ...]]></description>
