RSAW/ YPC Debate

Yesterday evening, YPC and the RSAW held a joint event debating the role of community involvement in the planning, design and development process. Wayne Reynolds (the director of Atriarc) participated in the event as a panel member, highlighting the challenges between the consultation process and how planning policy and strategy is developing in England and Wales.

The event culminated in an audience discussion, reviewing design mechanisms in Wales, the UK and wider examples from EU States and whether these practices could be implemented in more local settings.

The RSAW remnants exhibition remains open to the public until the 6th of November, at the Old Library, on the Hayes, Cardiff. For further information why not check out http://www.designcirclersawsouth.co.uk/ or pop down for a visit!

Welcome to my development blog

Its only Monday and already its a busy week! With two barn conversions getting off the ground, I have added a few photos to the company blog so that clients, friends, family, or those of you just interested in the world of development, can follow the progress of the conversions over the next year. Hopefully, whether you are a professional or lay person, the blog will be pitched at just the right level for all to enjoy.

As part of the planning permission a passing bay is required just up the road from the farm. This requires a Section 278 Agreement with the Local Authority (LA), a legal Agreement to allow works to be undertaken in the highway. After negotiating with the LA, a combination of Highways plans and contractors details are going to be included to ensure the works are undertaken to an agreed standard (not un-common); however it would have been preferable if we could have undertaken the works as part of a street works licence (as the process is generally a little cheaper and easier to undertake). Just sent off some details to various local companies to see how much the works are likely to cost (extending the highway from 3.5 m in width to 5m in width, over a 10 m length of road). Want to find out what comes back? Then why not follow the blog!
