Dale Road delight for a vacant property in Matlock

3rd October 202320th September 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice is pleased to announce that Full planning permission has recently been secured for the change of use, conversion and extension of a vacant property located in the heart of Matlock to provide 5 residential apartments and retention of the ground floor and front basement for commercial uses (E Use Class).

**Figure 1:** Photograph of the vacant property (fronting Dale Road)

The property is a three-storey 19th Century unlisted building located within the Matlock Bridge Conservation Area in the centre of Matlock. The property backs onto the River Derwent and command a prominent position within the town.

Vacant property collaboratively reimagined

A collaborative approach between our in-house Planners, Architects, and Heritage Specialist was required to produce a sensitive but functional scheme. The proposed conversion would provide 5 residential units including four studio apartments and one 2 bedroom apartment. The development would see 145.5 sqm of Class E floor space retained for commercial/retail uses. A three storey rear extension is proposed to house an internal staircase providing a separate access to the proposed residential units.

In terms of the principal elevation of the building fronting Dale Road, and the side return which is also visible from Dale Road, there are to be no changes or alterations. In this regard the existing historical character and appearance of the building, which we considered to be an integral part of the Dale Road street scene would be maintained.

**Figure 2:** Proposed side and rear elevations

In social terms the development would contribute towards meeting the District Council’s much-needed objectively assessed open market housing targets and in economic terms the benefits include premises retained for employment uses with a thriving Town Centre.

Glapwell – Home is where the art is

20th September 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice have gained planning permission for Meadowview Homes to build 64 homes on the site of the former Glapwell Estate and hall. They share the land with Glapwell Nurseries / tea rooms and also the amazing Grade II Listed Gardener’s Bothy which is one of the last remaining elements of the Glapwell Estate. They are designing unique homes and integrating bespoke art and landscaping which will connect the old and new communities of Glapwell to the past.

Once the development is completed, parts of the site will, for the first time, be classed as public open space. For years the site has had no actual use or purpose and the fencing surrounding it was unsightly and dilapidated. Meadowview Homes are restoring the Gardener’s Bothy to conserve it and ensure its long-term future. They are also reintroducing a formal garden setting as part of the development which will contain public art, unique garden features, and a children’s play area for residents to enjoy and to link up the site to surrounding parts of the village.

The public art element will be in three separate areas across the site but all will have a distinct design theme running through them to bring cohesion to the pieces. This will contain a large 3.6m diameter dry stone sculpture. The stone will be laid radiating to the central hole. The inner and outer edges will be contained within a corten steel ring. The faces of the circle will be dished drawing the eye into the centre. In the Bothy Area there will be a sculpture on the lawns on each side of the road with the same design style as above but at a smaller scale. The faces will be flat not dished and again they will be contained within corten steel bands. The sculptures will sit on circles of pitched stone replicating the face of the feature on the horizontal surface.

Meadowview Homes chose an award-winning dry stone waller Andrew Loudon who uses local materials and themes that reflect the community. He is working in collaboration with CB Arts Chris Brammall one of the leading metalworkers in the UK and responsible for the sculpture on the Chesterfield roundabout. The design drawings and landscaping theme have been provided by Janine Crimmins who has won 4 RHS medals. Meadowview Homes are confident that the artwork by these established artists will be an asset to the local community.

Glapwell – a rich heritage

Rich in industrial and cultural history it’s only fitting that Glapwell Gardens will add to that history with its own unique public artwork.

Glapwell Art was part of a planning obligation negotiated between Meadowview Homes and the local council. Known as a Section 106. S106 agreements are legal agreements between Local Authorities and developers; these are linked to planning permissions and can also be known as planning obligations. A Planning obligation will aim to balance the pressure created by the new development with improvements to the surrounding area ensuring that where possible the development would make a positive contribution to the local area and community.

Planning & Design Practice Ltd regularly work with developers to negotiate S106 agreements but this was the first time negotiating an artwork. Our heritage assistant Ruth Gray, who is an artist herself was able to steer the project and formulate a public consultation which has just completed.

Inspired design for infill plot

20th September 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice are pleased to announce the granting of outline permission with all matters reserved, except access, for the construction of a new home in South Derbyshire. The proposal constitutes limited infill between existing properties.

The site is located in the Derbyshire countryside within a linear development of houses and within the curtilage of a house situated on the end of a small cluster of homes.

Whilst the outline application was submitted to determine the principle of residential development in the location, the application was accompanied by an illustrative site plan, as shown below in Figure 1, prepared by the Architectural Team at Planning & Design Practice.

It is envisaged that the key characteristics would be as follows:

A single dwelling of modern design and finished with locally sourced stone or brick;
Highly sustainable low carbon dwelling built to exacting standards;
Use of renewable energy and sustainable forms of heating;
Use of existing access to the dwelling to be widened;
Sufficient space within the site for the parking and turning of vehicles; and
Amenity space to be located to the north of the new dwelling.

The development will be sympathetic to the local character and appearance of the street scene and wider local area. Additionally, the siting of the plot will ensure no adverse impact on neighbouring amenities.

It has been successfully argued that the proposal would constitute a sustainable form of development, in accordance with the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework and Development Plan.

Gaining planning permission is a key step in almost any development.

New barn boost for agricultural business

25th September 202319th September 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice are pleased to announce that planning permission has been secured for the erection of an agricultural barn to be used in connection with a small agricultural holding in South Derbyshire.

The building will provide much needed dry and secure storage for farm machinery and hay. The machinery includes a tractor, baler, trailer, mower and topper mower. The size of the barn has been carefully devised to reflect the operational needs and is considered to be commensurate with the current farming activities. The barn will be a traditional, modern agricultural building. The materials will consist of blockwork with a timber clad roof.

There are currently a number of barns on site which are in varying conditions, with some being dilapidated. These will be demolished, removing a total of 195m2 of floor space to be replaced with the proposed barn of 200m2. This will provide more secure and efficient storage compared to what is currently existing within the site.

In line with our clients brief our Architectural Team, in collaboration with the Planning Team, prepared a scheme that would sit comfortably within rural surroundings of the site. This includes the location towards the south western boundary of the northern field, bounded by hedgerows and trees.

Additionally, the scheme took into consideration the potential impact on neighbouring residents so is located a sufficient distance away from residential dwellings.

Supporting agricultural development

Obtaining planning permission in the countryside can bring about significant gains and help to maximise the value of your rural property. However, development in the countryside is subject to strict planning controls which can make obtaining planning permission very difficult. Our RTPI Chartered planning experts have vast experience of working on projects for homeowners, landowners and farmers in rural areas including agricultural buildings, barn conversions, Certificates of Lawfulness and farm diversification schemes.

We provide honest and sound advice, mediate when required and maintain high professional standards. We aim to build strong and lasting relationships with our clients and we are always pleased to work with architects and other professional companies.

Biodiversity Net Gain looming large for developments of all sizes

23rd August 2023 by Gary Stringer

The date on which biodiversity net gain (BNG) comes into law is fast approaching. Here, our Director Richard Pigott, provides answers to some FAQs about the whole process and what it will mean for applicants, landowners and homeowners.

What exactly is biodiversity net gain (BNG)?

Biodiversity net gain (BNG) is an approach to development, and/or land management, that aims to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than it was beforehand. The minimum gain required will be 10% over and above the existing condition of the site. This habitat gain will need to be secured for at least 30 years via planning obligations or conservation covenants. BNG was stipulated in the Environment Act (2021) and the 2 year implementation period is drawing to an end.

When will BNG actually take effect?

BNG is set to become law in November 2023 with a transition period for small sites extended to April 2024. Small sites are defined as:

(i) For residential: 1-9 dwellings on a site having an area of less than one hectare, or where the number of dwellings to be provided is not known, a site area of less than 0.5 hectares.

(ii) For non-residential: where the floor space to be created is less than 1,000 square metres or where the site area is less than one hectare.

All applications submitted after these dates (the exact dates in November and April are yet to be confirmed) will need to meet the new requirements.

What are the current laws/requirements for BNG?

At present there are no laws covering BNG so it is applied inconsistently across different local authorities. Many now require some level of BNG (often as little as 0.1%) but will all change in November.

How is BNG calculated?

In simple terms, BNG is calculated by working out the baseline value of a site in habitat terms then working out the overall impact of a development using the Biodiversity Metric. This metric is designed to provide ecologists, developers, planners and other interested parties with a means of assessing changes in biodiversity value (losses or gains) brought about by development or changes in land management.

Are local planning authorities ready for the new system?

Almost certainly not. Local planning authorities and wildlife trusts are already stretched and the new system can only add more pressure to their workloads in the short term at the very least.

What if BNG cant be achieved on site?

There is a preference for onsite or local enhancements. However, in many cases it will not be possible to achieve biodiversity net gain on a development site or on adjacent land within the applicant’s ownership or control. In such circumstances, the developer can secure the unit shortfall by securing a bespoke site for net gain, or from appropriate sites on the local net gain habitat market from other landowners. These sites will need to meet the criteria of the biodiversity gain sites register when available. If a shortfall in units required to achieve BNG remains, having explored the onsite and local offsite options, a developer can purchase statutory biodiversity credits from government as a last resort.

What will off site BNG cost and will this impact viability?

At present it is very hard to predict what the cost of off-site BNG will be as there remain uncertainties about how the system will work. The Land Trust has previously suggested that BNG units could be worth around £10,000-£25,000 each, although local demand and supply are likely to be what ultimately sets unit prices. What can be said with certainty though is that BNG could be a very significant factor affecting the viability of some schemes, both large and small.

Comment

Whilst mandatory BNG is hardly an overnight concept, it certainly seems to have gone under the radar for many of our clients and eyebrows are often raised when we tell them what it could mean for their proposals. Some clients are determined to submit applications before November but this is not always possible for a variety of reasons. If you wish to discuss this issue further please do not hesitate to get in touch on 01332 347371 or email enquiries@planningdesign.co.uk.

Construction of New Orthopaedic Building and Demolition of Existing Workshops to Provide Replacement Parking

5th September 202323rd August 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice are pleased to announce the approval of a new orthopaedic ward at Florence Nightingale Hospital, in Derby. The new ward is proposed to be located on what is currently a visitor car park, which is also host to a couple of workshops which have been proposed to be demolished.

The new orthopaedic ward aims to reduce the current and future waiting list size, offer high quality care and provide a solution to the capacity and demand issue for orthopaedic care in Derbyshire. Derbyshire orthopaedic services currently face issues regarding capacity and demand imbalance created by annual growth in patients requiring surgery, and loss of bed capacity to medicine over the winter periods and during the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in extended waiting periods. The scope of the project includes a three-floor new build development to accommodate three orthopaedic laminar flow theatres, pre-operative assessment rooms, anaesthetic rooms, scrub area etc, alongside four 4 bed bays, 18 single rooms and four HDU step-down beds. The development aims to achieve the following:

The new facility would improve productivity by an average 661 patients per year due to a full 12 months’ worth of productivity.
Waiting List Initiatives (WLI) will be reduced as all activity will be in core time.
There will be a significantly improved patient experience through provision of a ‘one-stop-shop’ for pre-operative assessment and surgery, and reduced waiting times leading to improved outcomes.
Activity will be maintained throughout the year resulting in shorter waiting times which is a patient benefit expressed in QALYs in the economic model.
Additional productivity will help to clear the backlog of circa 1,742 patients waiting for hips and knees.
The development would offer enhanced training opportunities with the training theatre facilitating the recruitment of clinical fellows.

PDP wrote a Planning, Design and Access Statement explaining how the proposed development complied with Derby City Council’s planning policies, and explained the benefits of the project, which was submitted alongside drawings provided by Gilling Dod Architects. The proposal was subsequently recommended for approval by the planning officer, stating that:

“the proposed development of a new orthopaedic unit on the community hospital site would significantly enhance the provision of health facilities and increase patient capacity for the hospital… It is acceptable in terms of the criteria in Policy CP21 and would accord with the intentions of relevant Local Plan Policies and over arching guidance in the NPPF which promotes economic and sustainable development and high quality design.”

Over the last 20 years, Planning & Design Practice have worked with and for a wide range of public sector and not-for-profit bodies including the NHS, Government Agencies, District and Unitary Local Authorities, County Councils and Town/Parish Councils. A number of our senior team have extensive experience of working in the public sector and this undoubtedly helps us to understand the requirements of public bodies.

Free-standing solar panels power up Derbyshire Dales home

29th August 202323rd August 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice is pleased to announce that planning permission has recently been secured for the erection of a ground-mounted solar panels (photovoltaic array – part retrospective) at a home in the Derbyshire Dales countryside.

The development includes 40 PV panels (4 rows of 10), measuring 12.34m x 12.55m have already been installed on-site and a further 40 PV panels (4 rows of 10), measuring 12.34m x 12.55m are proposed to site alongside the existing array.

This will provide a significant contribution towards powering the house. The application as a whole will provide further environmental efficiency and reduced carbon emissions for the already sustainable house, which contains an efficient heating and cooling system.

National planning policy strongly favours small-scale renewable energy developments, such as adding panels to existing buildings. Section 14 ‘Meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding and coastal change’ of the NPPF sets out key considerations in respect of climate change, highlighting the government’s opinion that sustainable development should encompass social and economic issues as well as environmental. In particular, paragraph 158 recognises the valuable contribution of small-scale projects in cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Within the Local Plan, policy PD7 states that new development should be designed to contribute to achieving national targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will support the generation of energy from renewable sources, provided that it does not have a significant adverse impact. Renewable energy generation development should consider their impacts on the environment, heritage, landscape, noise and visual impacts and that these can be avoided or mitigated through careful consideration of their location, scale, design and other measures.

The site is deemed suitable for the development as the siting of the panels is in close proximity to the existing array. The highest point of the panels would remain at a relatively modest 1m above ground level, so the proposal will not result in any significant landscape impacts. Furthermore, the solar PV array would not be visible from long-range views.

It was successfully argued that the development provides renewable energy generation to contribute towards reducing the dwelling’s overall CO2 emissions, therefore, providing a valuable contribution to the mitigation of climate change impacts and representing a sustainable proposal.

The Planning Team at Planning and Design Practice, on behalf of our client successfully liaised with key stakeholders in the preparation, submission and management of the planning application. The team of Chartered Town Planners are well versed in understanding and promoting renewable energy developments including solar panels, for all stakeholders to ensure the best possible case is put forward.

There was a Crooked House…

22nd August 2023 by Gary Stringer

Britain has lost its “wonkiest pub”! Architectural Technologist Joseph Cattmull looks at the history of the only place you can feel drunk without spending a penny, and the options available for this iconic cornerstone of village life following the devastating fire.

Constructed in 1765 in the Black Country village of Himley, The Crooked House was originally a farmhouse at Oak Farm, however due to subsidence caused by historical mining in the area, one side of the building now measures roughly 4ft lower than the other. Rather than seeing this as a negative, the owners used this to create a pub full of optical illusions.

I was fortunate enough to visit the pub recently, it was a pub like no other. One of the customers appeared to be rolling a marble up the bar, defying gravity. When we sat to have our pints I appeared to dwarf my friend who normally towers over me, reminding me of the camera trickery used in Lord of the Rings to film the hobbits. Upon leaving the pub, you got the weirdest feeling from walking on level ground again.

Devastatingly, the pub recently made national headlines for all the wrong reasons. Burning to the ground over night in a suspected arson attack. Conveniently, according to The Mirror, there was a digger hired on site already which was quickly used to demolish the pub following the fire.

As the dust settles, questions about the future of the Crooked House arise. The burning question is whether the Crooked House will be rebuilt, and if so, in what form? While rebuilding “like for like” seems like a natural step to preserve the heritage and memory associated with the landmark, decisions about its reconstruction are laden with complexity.

The possibility of rebuilding the Crooked House “like for like” might be met with both enthusiasm and apprehension. On one hand, recreating the iconic structure could be seen as a way to honor its legacy and maintain its historical significance. Reuniting the village of Himley with its beloved pub.

On the other hand, some might argue that attempting to replicate the Crooked House exactly might detract from its authenticity. The original charm was a product of generations of use, subsidence, and the passage of time. A meticulous recreation might lack the same sense of history and character that the original building possessed.

The UK does have a history of forcing property owners to rebuilt their demolished buildings like for like. In 2015 developers demolished The Carlton Tavern two days before it was due to be listed. A planning application on the site had been refused to convert the building into 10 flats, following this & two days before it was due to become grade II listed by Historic England, the developers ordered its demolition.

Swiftly the locals were onto the local council demanding action and luckily Historic England had taken plaster casts of every tile and had plenty of photographic documentation of how the building was. This lead to an order being passed for the pub to be rebuilt brick by brick. What was done well, was the reuse of old timbers showing the damage from the demolition. This adds to the history of the building, providing it with further character to add to its charm.

Back to the Crooked House, it is my belief, alongside our Heritage Expert Ruth Gray, that the pub be rebuilt brick by brick. They should follow in the footsteps of the Carlton Tavern in recovering what they can and trying to add to the buildings story within the rebuild. Unique pubs such as this are a special asset to communities and they need to be protected.

Revisiting a redeveloped Lenton Gardens

22nd August 2023 by Gary Stringer

A visit to an award-winning housing development bought back memories of student life for our Part II Architectural Assistant Tina Humphreys. Here she looks at the redevelopment of the Lenton Gardens estate in Nottingham.

The housing scheme in Lenton Gardens by jtp Architects has won a variety of awards such as LABC East Midlands Building Excellence Awards 2016- 2017 for Best Social or Affordable New Housing Development and was also shortlisted on the RIBA East Midlands Awards 2018 Regional Awards.

Back in 2014 I was in my first year of university studying architecture and living in student accommodation in Lenton, which is a converted historical industrial building. Opposite the student halls was this bleak and rundown site which had 6 high-rise residential towers of brutalist-style architecture. Concrete prefab façade with small windows and a very monotonous style. There were green spaces surrounding the towers but nobody used it or in fact dared to walk through it!

In 2012 Nottingham City Homes and Nottingham City Council made the decision to replace the existing residential tower blocks with new accommodation of better quality and to create a better way of life. The brief was to bring back key movements through the site from north to south and east to west. In addition, the aim was to provide a mix of affordable family housing and as well as homes for the elderly, and to provide a sense of community with cafe’s and office spaces. To do this jtp Architects worked closely with the Lenton community by holding drop in sessions and workshops during the concept stage and reporting on the feedback they received about the layout and design of the new homes.

The final result is a good mix of flats, semi-detached houses, detached houses and bungalows, with soft landscaped green spaces in between. The architectural style uses traditional red and blue brick and white render with some traditional features from housing within Lenton area but in a modern way.

The scheme also incorporates sustainable features such as PV panels and meets, what was back then the Code for Sustainable Homes level 4.

Planning success mitigates factory fire risk

11th September 202319th July 2023 by Gary Stringer

Planning & Design Practice have successfully secured full planning permission for the installation of a sprinkler system and associated apparatus at the factory of John Smedley Limited textile manufacturers in Lea Mills, Matlock, Derbyshire. The site is of historic importance as the world’s oldest manufacturing factory in continuous operation. It is the last surviving operational textile mill in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

The sprinkler system is both a health and safety, and insurance requirement for the continued operation of the manufacturing business, which brings considerable employment and other economic benefits to the local area. Evidencing this need and the value of the continued operation of the manufacturer was key in securing planning permission.

The site’s historic importance and location within the Castle Top/Lea Bridge and High Peak Conservation Area, and the Dethick, Lea & Holloway Conservation Area required a detailed heritage impact assessment and design expertise to ensure sympathetic design of the new pump house, water tank, and exterior fittings required for the sprinkler system. This involved choosing an inconspicuous colour scheme, recessed design and incorporating suitable screening.

The design of the proposed additions, consideration of heritage impacts and the clear business need for the development was sufficient to achieve approval from Derbyshire Dales District Council. Planning & Design Practice’s in-house heritage experts are able to respond to the complex requirements for development in Conservation Areas, working collaboratively with our core team of planning practitioners and architectural specialists to secure favourable planning outcomes.

This collaborative approach has formed our strong reputation for providing honest and sound commercial advice, skilled presentation, advocacy and negotiation, with a successful track record since being founded in 2002.

A history of success at John Smedley factory

We have had previous successes with John Smedley Ltd. Planning & Design were previously instructed as planning consultants to deliver a complex set of proposals for redevelopment, conversion and part demolition on a site at the Lea Mills part of the John Smedley factory. The ‘East Site’ was no longer needed for garment manufacture and development was needed to secure a beneficial future use for the land and buildings and to support the company’s development and expansion. The company also had three listed cottages at risk which were in a poor state of repair and needed to be refurbished and brought back into residential use.

Permission was granted for the redevelopment of surplus land and buildings at the factory site to provide 26 new homes, through a combination of conversion and new build.

You can read more about that project at this link.

Planning & Design have a wealth of experience in designing and securing planning permission for commercial projects. We have the required skills to design both small and large scale schemes in-house and tailor the design to the client’s unique specifications. Unsure of your site’s potential? We are also able to provide our professional opinion on the planning potential of your property at the outset.

For more information, or to discuss your proposals please contact us at enquiries@planningdesign.co.uk or phone 01332 347371.
