Greenbelt Four. Impossible approved.

The planners said maybe. Then maybe not. Then—after months of analysis, justification, and one very long final committee meeting—yes.

We've just secured planning permission for four substantial executive homes in the Nottinghamshire greenbelt. Approved at the third committee hearing. Because persistence beats precedent.

Greenbelt land doesn't give up easily. It's protected for good reason, wrapped in policy designed to say no. But there's a loophole called 'infill'—a technical exception that lets you build between existing development if you can prove your case thoroughly enough to survive scrutiny.

We proved it. Twice to officers, three times to committee.

Four executive plots that slot into the existing village fabric without sprawling into open countryside. Each home gets space, privacy, and grounds that justify the word 'executive' without the estate agent hyperbole. The approval hinged on forensic analysis of the site's context—proving these homes fill a genuine gap rather than creating greenbelt creep.

What is planning committee? It's where councillors vote on contentious applications that officers can't approve alone. Public speaking. Planning arguments. Democracy in action. Your project goes from technical assessment to political decision—and sometimes it takes three attempts to get there.

Got a site everyone says is impossible? Greenbelt that seems untouchable? A project the planners have already said no to?

Call us. We've got the scars—and the approvals—to prove difficult doesn't mean dead.
