We are delighted to have gained planning approval at appeal for a development of two houses in Colne.
The scheme replaces a former plant nursery which originally gained consent for replacement with a single large dwelling and detached garage.
We developed a scheme based on two dwellings, similar in scale to the approval, in a courtyard farmstead arrangement. The second dwelling steps down in scale with a broken roof arrangement to create a lower ridge and materials to convey the hierarchy of agricultural out building. The dwellings are arranged with gardens to the south and glazing arranged to take advantage of open field views.
The planning application was refused approval in early 2024, but the decision was overturned by the planning inspector this week, dismissing all the planning officers’ objections.
