Annexe Planning Permission in Northumberland
Imagine wanting to bring your elderly parents closer for much-needed support. That’s exactly what our client in Northumberland faced. They dreamt of building an annexe on their land but navigating annexe planning permission in Northumberland for both a curtilage extension (increasing the developed area) and the annexe itself seemed daunting.
Here’s where NAPC stepped in. We knew obtaining curtilage extension approval was crucial before any construction could begin in the designated paddock area. To maximize our client’s chance of success, we recommended a combined application for both the curtilage extension and the annexe.
This blog will detail the challenges and strategies involved in securing this dual approval. We’ll explore the importance of understanding curtilage extensions and how they connect to building an annexe.
The curtilage extension and annexe planning application
We meticulously planned the size, scale, and materials of the annexe to achieve planning permission. This ensured the annexe would blend in with the surrounding open countryside. To support our design decisions, we referenced relevant case law and appeal precedents. The comprehensive Planning Statement included all of this information.
Approval of curtilage extension!
Northumberland District Council approved the 65 sqm curtilage extension and granny annexe application due to the detailed planning application. Our clients could now look forward to their family being closer to home.
