Consultancy teams up with housebuilder

Consultancy Planning & Design Practice has helped housebuilder Chevin Homes secure planning permission for an affordable housing project on the edge of Derby.

The company worked with Chevin to get the green light for the development of eight semi-detached bungalows at Chellaston.

The site had originally been earmarked for ecological enhancements as part of a recently completed scheme of 34 homes by Redrow Homes.

However, with the help of Ramm Sanderson ecologists and Golby and Luck Landscape Architects, Planning & Design was able to demonstrate to South Derbyshire District Council that the site could be partially developed.

The firm has a successful track record of working with Chevin. Working on its behalf, the consultancy secured planning permission for the redevelopment of Brookside Farm, at Breadsall.

The development, which comprises a mix of five exclusive barn conversions, new build homes and restoration of the original farmhouse, was named Residential Development of the Year at last year’s East Midlands Brick Awards.
