The Design Process
Backhouse agreed to purchase the site with outline planning approval for 21 new homes. Details submitted were limited with no layout provided showing how the land could accommodate a development of this scale. Pre-application discussions were held with the local authority on the basis of a contemporary scheme in contrast to recent developments in the vicinity. The application was submitted in March 2018, with approval given under delegated powers in July 2018, subject to completion of a section 106 agreement which was approved in February 2019.
