We are delighted to announce the approval of our 26th Para 84 house application in Moreton-in-Marsh, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire. The proposal involves a two-storey cruciform-plan house and detached pool house set within a richly enhanced biodiverse landscape. Permission was granted at appeal in July 2024, with the Inspector attributing “considerable weight” to the independent assessment of the architectural and landscape design quality of the scheme by Design:Midlands, endorsing its conclusions that the proposal was “…bold and exciting, yet contextual, promising an exemplary building”, having regard to the advice in the NPPF which states that local authorities should give weight to such advice. Hughes Planning worked in close collaboration with Seymour-Smith Architects and SEED Landscape Design, directing the design team from conception of the project through to determination of the planning application, including representing the clients at appeal.
