Planning permissions are not unlike London buses; you can wait ages for one and then three come along at once!
Arena Global Management Ltd are absolutely delighted to share the news that three planning permissions were received in the space of a single afternoon last week. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of our dedicated team who were able to secure a positive result for our valued clients.
Each permission had its own challenges and complexities which required the collective knowledge and expertise from both within the team and our trusted consultants:
Class Q Barn Conversion: planning permission was secured via Class Q, Prior Approval, for the conversion of a former lambing shed to a residential dwelling. Due to the existing building’s size and presence of protected species (bats), AGM worked pro-actively with the Local Planning Authority and Ecology Department to secure the provision of a bespoke, standalone day roost. Such a compensation measure will ensure that the development is appropriately mitigated going forward.
Former Public House Change of Use: planning permission was secured for the conversion of a former PH’s Ground Floor to a mixed-use scheme – providing a residential apartment and separate Class E (Offices) unit. Being within Flood Zones 2 and 3, AGM demonstrated to both the Council and Environment Agency that the scheme would not pose a risk to its residents throughout its lifetime. Furthermore, appropriate marketing evidence was submitted to the LPA, detailing how all avenues for the building’s use had been explored prior to the submission of this application.
Pre-Commencement conditions: AGM was successful in discharging the necessary Pre-Commencement conditions for a mixed-use scheme within the heart of Bath. Providing the necessary and correct documentation, the LPA were able to discharge the conditions within 14-days of validation (a record time by all accounts!).
A huge thank you to all of those consultants who were involved in the applications, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in earnest, delivering outstanding results for our loyal and trusted clients!
If you have a project which requires planning assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team. We would be delighted to work with you.
