We were approached by our client to assist in resolving a planning enforcement issue related to the unauthorised conversion of an existing outbuilding into a self-contained holiday accommodation unit within the picturesque Northumberland National Park. To address the issue, we engaged with the local planning authority to determine the necessary information required for a retrospective planning application, ensuring a clear and compliant approach.
Our support included authoring a planning statement to justify the development in line with relevant development plan policies and other material considerations. We coordinated the preparation of necessary drawings, surveys, and assessments for the application. Additionally, we managed the entire application process, maintaining ongoing communication with the local planning authority and providing our client with regular updates. Ultimately, we secured retrospective planning permission efficiently, enabling our client to continue operating their holiday accommodation lawfully.
