We provide in depth but practical support throughout the process, for any type of project requiring planning permission. This ranges from initial site visit advice, through to the submission, progression and achieving planning consent. Either by way of Local Authority approval or via appeal. Our local knowledge and relationships with Nottinghamshire’s local authorities built up over many years has been key to understanding the value of our client’s land or property.
GraceMachin has supported a range of landowner client projects in local Council areas, including Tourism in Newark and Sherwood, the provision of Care Homes in Rushcliffe, and student housing in Nottingham City Centre, as well as residential schemes across the rural area.
Recently in Nottinghamshire, we have contributed to the delivery of a substantial level of new homes in the Greater Nottingham Urban Area following our appointments to promote housing allocations, in an area with a strong housing market. Our significant experience on delivering planning applications within the Green Belt ensures we provide a strong and robust case at Local Plan Hearing sessions.
If you have land or redundant buildings and would like planning advice on what to do to realise their full development value – or any other type of project subject to planning consent - please contact us.
