Paul Butler Associates Ltd supported the Architect (OMI) and project team by firstly advising on the supporting planning requirements for the application.  The Practice prepared a supporting Planning Statement which presented the acceptability of the proposals against local and national planning policy.  This was supplemented by a detailed Open Space Assessment which demonstrated that from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective the use of land as open space was surplus to requirements and therefore complied with CS Policy EN10 and Paragraphs 96-97 of the NPPF.

The scheme was approved in 2017.
