Appointed as planning consultants, PRP led a team in securing planning consent for the demolition of the existing Victorian buildings and their replacement with a contemporary building providing 100% affordable extra care accommodation for older people.

PRP Planning coordinated the submission of the planning application and offered a detailed justification in support of the proposals. A key part of the justification was an assessment against PPG15 criteria to support the demolition of existing buildings within the Conservation Area and their replacement with a modern purpose-built facility.

PRP advised on the scope of information to support the application and coordinated the input of other consultants so as to secure an officer recommendation in support of the scheme. The proposals were approved unanimously at the Council’s planning committee.
