Working with Symmetry Architecture Ltd we have secured full planning permission for the demolition of a heritage asset, positioned in the GREEN BELT and a CONSERVATION AREA, and the er****on of a detached dwelling.

Prior to Darryl Howells involvement, Symmetry Architecture Ltd undertook pre-application advice with the Local Planning Authority regarding the scheme and was told, NO complete redevelopment of the site would be supported.

DHPC was recommended by the architect. Darryl Howells Planning Consultancy Ltd. created a strategy to gain 2no. permissions before applying for the main event. 1st application needed to remove a condition restricting the use of the land; then the 2nd application for the construction of a retaining wall.

Once those 2 applications were approved (quickly I might add) we applied for the main application. Darryl Howells Planning Consultancy Ltd. used the drawings of Symmetry Architecture Ltd to argue that the condition of the building was unsound, and that the development would not prejudice the openness of the Green Belt. We successfully argued that the design of the replacement building would not harm distance views into the conservation area, or affect nearby listed buildings.

The scheme was approved under delegated powers, after most of the villagers supported the scheme and its design.

The client is over the moon having expected a long fight at appeal, but both Darryl Howells Planning Consultancy Ltd. and Symmetry Architecture Ltd are so pleased we could secure this consent from the outset.

SYMMETRY ARCHITECTURE IS THREE!!!!

This is not an April Fools Day joke, but an absolute truth!

We will be celebrating tonight by being locked in unfamiliar rooms which we need to escape from & then eating far too much. (Lockdown 1 memories for anyone?!) We may well post photos elsewhere of how well our revelry & frolicking goes, but feel free to raise a glass & join us in marking our anniversary.

Thanks to all who have contributed to our success during the past 3 years & all those who have supported our journey.

Here’s to many more celebrations.

Having not planned for a global pandemic in our first year of business, we had not been able to formally celebrate our 1st (and 2nd!) Year Anniversary. This week we took a day out of the office to do just that! Can you work out who the 2nd picture is? Captions welcome!

We are so grateful to our clients who continue to trust us to see their vision through. Due to our ever expanding workload we are hiring again!
