Retrospective Change of Use From Private Field to a Dog Field

The client approached Planning By Design after receiving a planning enforcement for changing a private field into a dog field without the required planning permission. Following a planning appraisal with one of our chartered town planners, it was determined that getting planning permission retrospectively is feasible but would require a retrospective full planning application to change the use. One of our chartered architects produced the required drawings, which the client approved. Following approval of the architect drawings, one of our chartered town planners prepared all the required design and access statement, to justify why the application should be approved. With the client's approval, a retrospective planning application, architect drawings plus the design, and access statement have been submitted. Planning permission has now been approved for the change of use.
