Navigating a Succesful Planning Application

The Glampitect team collaborated closely with Chris, delving deep into his vision and layout preferences to ensure every detail was brought to life, paving the way for their creative process to begin.

Erin, Senior Designer at Glampitect, lead on the project and carefully created a variety of technical illustrations (including: Layout Plan, Location Plan, Drainage Plan, Road and Access Plan, Lighting Plan, Visibility Splay and Unit Elevations) and artist impressions required to submit a planning application. Given the technology available, this removed the need for a site visit and the entire project was conducted remotely. 

Initially, the planning application allowed for 6 glamping pods, but upon Chris's reconsideration, this was later scaled down to 2 pods.

Leveraging her expertise, Erin promptly addressed the Planning Officer and Highways Consultee's areas of concern and effectively navigated the application to a successful planning approval.
