planning applications – a strong record
Baker Associates has a strong record in achieving successful outcomes on planning applications.
We can help you get the same results.
the Baker Associates approach
Key to our success is our belief in working with, rather than against, the development plan system. This approach regularly involves early involvement in the plan-making process and the identification of opportunities through that process.
Baker Associates prepares applications which emphasise the benefits of development and reflect the concerns of all parties involved. We undertake thorough early investigations into the background of sites and regularly undertake early confidential consultations in order to support the process.
Local and national government requirements regarding planning applications are becoming increasingly prescriptive, with extensive supporting material often needed. We understand what is (and what is not) needed and we ensure that submissions are appropriate to the scale of the proposals.
We closely monitor the progress of any planning application and intervene, where necessary, to speed up its determination.
From inception to decision, Baker Associates treats every application with the utmost care and attention.
successful applications include:
- Planning consent for 2,000sqm of commercial accommodation at Enigma Park, Malvern
- Planning approval for 4,000sqm office development at Longwell Green, Bristol
- Planning approval for the redevelopment of Avon Livestock Market for a range of B1, B2 and B8 uses
- consent gained for an extension, including swimming pool and double garage, for large a dwelling in the green belt south of Bristol
- planning consent for the redevelopment of a redundant hospital in the green belt south/north of Stafford for 65 dwellings
- planning consent for 63 dwellings on the edge of Westbury, Wiltshire
- application for 74 dwellings at Slipps Nursery, Frome
- Certificate of Lawful Use for storage and dismantling of vehicles in Trowbridge.
planning appeals
Sometimes planning applications are unsuccessful. When this happens, Baker Associates can help.
the Baker Associates approach
We have the experience to present planning appeals as written representations, in hearings, or at an inquiry, depending on the nature of the case. We also have widespread experience in providing expert witness evidence at inquiries where necessary.
