Sustainable Development in the Countryside

PPS 21 and BGA Architects Ltd

Inspiring a New Tradition

We live in once of the most beautiful parts of the world. Our countryside has been shaped over generations it reflects and defines who we are today. When considering development in the countryside, we must balance the need to preserve the beauty and heritage we have inherited against our duty to ensure that rural communities are economically viable and sustainable for future generations.

Planning Policy Statement PPS 21 goes some way to achieving this balance. We welcome the opportunities it provides for our clients who live in rural communities to develop a lifestyle and an economy which reflects the way we live in the 21st century whilst ensuring that our built environment and rural landscape are fully protected.

PPS 21 has made changes to the following policies: -

• Replacement Dwellings

• The Conversion & Re-use of Existing Non Residential

Dwellings

• Social and Affordable Housing

• Personal and Domestic Circumstances

• Ribbon Development

• Residential Caravan and Mobile Homes

• Dwellings on Farms

• Farm Diversification

We have a close working relationship with the Planning Office and an outstanding record of obtaining Planning Permission in the countryside.

If you are considering development in the countryside give us a call, we can explain the changes included in PPS 21 and advise you on your proposed plans.

Together we can work to improve the countryside and make it viable and sustainable for those of us who live there today, whilst ensuring it is sustainable for the future.
