NEW HOMES TO A GREEN BELT SITE IN WAKEFIELD
Full planning permission was secured for five beautifully designed family homes at Firtree House, a former agricultural yard in the Green Belt near Wakefield. For this site, a strong case was made for very special circumstances, showing how the scheme would enhance the setting of a listed building, support local housing delivery, boost ecology and improve neighbouring living conditions.
The approval unlocked a significant land value uplift for the landowner and will deliver five 4-bed homes in one of the most sought-after areas of West Yorkshire. It’s a great example of how thoughtful land promotion can transform land with development potential into a successful small-scale development.
THOUGHTFUL NEW VILLAGE EXTENSION IN BURRINGHAM
Full planning permission was achieved for nine new dwellings on an undeveloped agricultural plot on the edge of Burringham, North Lincolnshire. To ensure the site’s development potential was fully realised, the landscape character, flood risk, and the sustainability of the location were all carefully addressed, whilst shaping a scheme that fits naturally within the village.
This small-scale land development brings much-needed, high-quality homes to a well-connected rural community. The project shows how a balanced, design-led approach can support sustainable village growth, add real value for the landowner, and respect the local landscape.
UNLOCKING A GREY-BELT IN SHELLEY, KIRKLEES
Planning permission was granted for a new dwelling on a Grey Belt site in Shelley, Kirklees, unlocking land that others believed couldn’t be developed. By drawing on the updated NPPF 2024 and presenting a robust planning case, the team demonstrated the site’s genuine development potential.
Through constructive dialogue with the council, a positive outcome was achieved for the landowner — showing how expert land promotion and a proactive planning strategy can turn overlooked sites into successful developments.
SENSITIVE BARN CONVERSION IN THE GREEN BELT
Planning permission was secured for the conversion of agricultural barns in the Green Belt into three high-quality new homes. The scheme carefully balances rural character with modern living, transforming underused buildings into attractive dwellings that enhance their countryside setting.
While Green Belt planning permission is never straightforward, a clear strategy, strong justification and thoughtful design helped unlock this site’s development potential, delivering a fantastic result and significant added value for the landowner.
