Planning Applications
Sheher Saaz also provides assistance with all types of planning applications to achieve planning permission. This typically involves the project management of the planning application. This includes sourcing of appropriate and cost efficient drawings, the co-ordination of the project team including liaison with the client, the preparation of all required paperwork, negotiations with planning officials (pre-planning meetings) and the preparation of a planning consultants report (planning appraisal) to support the development proposal. This report serves to demonstrate how the planning application is compliant with legislative and planning policy requirements with a view to securing planning permission. Responses are made to further information requests and clarification requests where required. In addition, the skill set available provides a valuable support service to engineers and architects.
Planning Appeals
Sheher Saaz has extensive experience in dealing with appeals. This has culminated in a proven track record and the achievement of a high success rate on behalf of clients. Each appeal is researched thoroughly and a detailed and compelling case is made to the Board in each instance. A planning appeal can be made against the decision of a Planning Authority by the applicant (First Party) or an objector (Third Party) to a decision by the Planning Authority.
Appeal work can take many forms and can include:
A First party appeal against a decision to refuse planning permission by the planning authority,
A First party appeal against conditions imposed on a planning permission by the planning authority e.g. terms of Development Contributions,
A Third party appeal against a decision by the planning authority to grant planning permission,
A Third party appeal against conditions imposed by the planning authority. Other Appeal work can include responses to appeals, an application for Leave to Appeal, Observations, referrals of declarations (exempted development), representation at Oral Hearings and Strategic Infrastructure negotiations with Board officials.
Planning Submissions/ Observations:
Situations can arise where an individual or business runs the risk of being adversely affected by a proposed development. Sheher Saaz can assist clients where there are substantive grounds to object, e.g. potential traffic hazard, adverse impact on residential amenity, non-compliance with planning standards or loss of light. In these circumstances, we are available to prepare comprehensive submissions so that the valid concerns of the client can be clearly assessed by the planning authority.
Retail Impact Assessments:
In accordance with the provisions of the Retail Planning Guidelines a Retail Impact Assessment (RIA) is often required to accompany a planning application for retail developments e.g. a supermarket, department store, retail warehouse or discount food store. The document from this process is called a Retail Impact Statement (RIS). This assessment sets out to examine the impact of the proposed retail development on the vitality and viability of the town centre as well as the impact upon existing retail facilities within the catchment. It involves a detailed planning policy context, statistical analysis / projections as well as the preparation of a sequential test where appropriate. A Retail Impact Statement can also form part of an Environmental Impact Statement. Sheher Saaz has extensive experience in the preparation and evaluation of Retail Impact Assessments for developments.
Visual Impact Assessments:
Visual Impact Assessment or VIA is an important design tool which demonstrates the likely visual impact of a development proposal. It involves the preparation of detailed photomontage(s) together with a professional assessment of the visual impact. VIA has the potential to reduce, avoid or remedy any likely significant impacts and is becoming an integral part of planning and decision making process. VIA can form a subset of an Environmental Impact Assessment. VIA often includes recommendations for suitable mitigation measures, where appropriate, to assimilate the development proposal into its environment. Sheher Saaz has prepared a number of successful VIA’s in partnership with Visual Lab Ltd. for a range of development proposals from one off houses to secondary schools located in sensitive landscapes. All photomontages are highly accurate and photo-realistic and more than satisfy the requirements of the planning authority.
