Landowners and developers with vacant buildings and brownfield land should be encouraged by the changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) made this year. The Coalition Government is pressing local planning authorities to be more supportive of economic development – and yes we are starting to see the fruits of this in more planning applications being granted. So if you own land or property and want to convert “offices to residential” or “warehouses to retail” then the “planning permission door” may just have opened for you!
ethical partnership will advise you on the tactics best suited for your site and situation, we’ll bring together all the economic and market arguments and we’ll assemble the case for planning permission to be granted. And if you need funding then we can point you in the direction of funders who may be able to assist.
