'Assets of Community Value' can significantly affect what you can do with your land, as this long-running saga shows in the Forest of Dean. An appeal was dismissed to extend a pub shut for many years on the basis of loss of the pub. =

Change in housing numbers

22/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Earlier this year the Government introduced new housing targets for local authorities, with numbers coming from a new algorithm. That saw greater increase in rural areas, prompting a backlash by many. This 'mutant algorithm', as it was dubbed, has now been changed to increase housebuilding in urban areas: an uplift of 35% will instead be applied to 20 cities and urban centres.

Costs in planning appeals

30/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Costs can be awarded in planning appeals against any party involved in the process: appellant, local planning authority or third parties. Costs can also be claimed, and local planning authorities understandably often want to try to recover what can be large sums in the biggest cases. This Council in Ledbury is planning to do just that.

One of the Government's recent announcements is to give the Planning Inspectorate the ability to use more than one procedure (written representations, hearings and Inquiries) at the same time when dealing with an appeal. More details to follow, but the Government says this will make appeals happen faster.

In response to the coronavirus and fears of the construction industry stalling, the Government has announced an extension to planning permissions. With limitations... planning permission usually expires after three years if work has not started. Sites with permission that have an expiry date between the start of lock-down and the end of 2020 will now see their permission extended to 1 April 2021.

The Planning Inspectorate have announced that more appeals will now be progressed through virtual sessions, to speed up Hearings and Inquiries. This is in response to the coronavirus, which put a temporary halt on all events. But the measures could continue into the future as an alternative to the traditional 'round the table' events.

Little cases in planning can be controversial - a dormer in a conservation area that doesn't have planning permission proved difficult in this instance. Prepare a good appeal case!

Appeals in the Green Belt

28/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Large housing developments can happen on the Green Belt if there are very special circumstances. A recent decision from the Government for 500 houses at Oxford allowed this on the basis of a need for the housing. Strong appeal cases, and any objections, are needed in all cases even if there is a firm planning policy background to the case.  https://buff.ly/3eZCgrl
