We continue to operate during these difficult times with all staff working from home. We are currently in the process of drawing up a Plan that will set out how we safely move forward as staff start returning to the Office. We hope that all of our clients, associates and friends are managing to stay safe too.

We have started to bring people back in to our office to work. We have a number of procedures and measures in place to make sure it is safe and, where possible, are still working remotely to limit numbers in the office. Things seem to be working well and we would like to thank all our staff for helping with the process. It’s amazing to see how many meetings are conducted through ‘Teams’ or ‘Zoom’ at the moment - A lot of time is saved this way (and it’s certainly better for the environment). We can see this being something that may be here to stay when things (hopefully) get back to normal!
August 2020
The Final version of the Design Principles Document for Bishops Stortford North has been submitted to the Council. This document sets out the vision for the entire major development and, once Approved, will be used to inform the forth coming Reserved Matters Applications. We worked closely with Planning Officers and other stake-holders to produce a document of over 100 pages in length that all parties were happy with.
August 2020
Reserved Matters Planning Approval secured at Saffron Walden on behalf of Abbey Homes for 85 dwellings. This was a new Application following a Refusal of the original Application by the Local Authority based on some rather tenuous reasons. An Appeal was lodged against the original decision but our client wanted to submit a new scheme that would address the reasons as a ‘back-stop’.
August 2020
The Appeal against the Refusal for our original Application at Saffron Walden has been upheld, meaning that the applicant (Abbey Homes) now have Planning Approval for the original scheme.
August 2020
Application submitted for 130 dwellings at Kingsfleet, Thetford on behalf of Kier Living.

Things seem to really be picking up at the moment and we are busy working on projects for Abbey Homes, Canon and Kirk, Reside Homes, Barratt, Riverdale Homes plus several others. In total, we are working on at least 6 live Planning Applications that will provide over 700 dwellings once approved. Keep checking back for further news on these exciting projects.
