Greenbelt
Architecture

Certain additional restrictions apply to properties and land situated within an area of designated greenbelt. It doesn’t mean that you can’t carry out certain developments, and there are ways of gaining planning permission for larger developments with the right knowledge.

Land included in the Green Belt must contribute to one or more of the five purposes of the Green Belt set out in Planning Policy Guidance Note 2 (PPG2 Green Belts):

  • To check the unrestricted sprawl of built-up areas
  • To safeguard the surrounding countryside from further encroachment
  • To preserve the special character of historic towns
  • To assist in urban regeneration

    Our Testimonials

    R.J.G Design Services was the best possible outcome I could have expected, the services provided by Richard was second to none. Right from the beginning and the initial design stage, through to the final design and application stage, the service was professional and of the highest standard. My application was successful for the change of use to my building.

    Richard @ RJG delivered a more than standard service. He offered some very creative design idea’s which enabled a very modern and different development design. Richard never refused to take calls out of working hours when questions were raised about the specification as this was my 1st project managed development and I needed the extra guidance. I am looking forward to working with Richard again on my next project as I know he will assist in delivering above our expectations.

    I have used RJG Architecture for two separate design & development projects.

I would recommend RJG Architecture for new build design or extension development projects of any type.
