Planning Potential secured planning permission to amend an existing consent, allowing our client to deliver their product
Our client (Redrow Homes) purchased the site with planning consent, however they sought to amend the permission, introducing phasing and their own house types. Planning Potential successfully secured a consent which allowed for the development to be bought forward in three separate phases and secured the amended detail for the first phase of the development, allowing Redrow to start building 51 homes.
We needed to overcome a number of technical difficulties associated with the historic consent before being able to introduce Redrow’s house type to the scheme. We worked closely with Sutton Council to achieve the amendments required. The amendments were initially resisted by the Council and local residents, who were particularly fond of the previous scheme, but after extensive engagement with the Officer’s and local residents we were able to gain support for the first phase of the development.
