Development within the green belt is often a big question we face from our clients and forms a large part of our working experience. Obtaining planning permission to build within the green belt can be problematic which needs a careful thoughtful approach adopting a sensitive design solution. We are well versed with bringing about successful planning applications for developments within the green belt for both residential and commercial proposals. If you are thinking about building within the green belt, get in touch and lets start a conversation and see how Harper Architects can help you.
