Harwood Savin provided strategic and planning application advice to Ashford College (part of the Hadlow College Group and formerly K College) in respect of campuses in Ashford and Folkestone since 2010
Harwood Savin has recently been successful in securing planning permission for an "air-space" scheme of six additional storeys on top of the existing two storey Wilko retail unit in the centre of Bognor Regis.
Harwood Savin advised the former K College (now Ashford College) on the renewal of outline planning permission for up to 241 residential units on the College’s existing campus, which helped to facilitate the development of the College’s new campus in Ashford Town Centre at Elwick Road.
Harwood Savin successfully secured a -hybrid- planning permission for 12,700 sqm new building Further Education College, 442 Student Residential Units, and up to 125 residential apartments in Central Brighton for City College Brighton and Hove (Now Greater Brighton Metropolitan College).
Harwood Savin was successful in securing planning permission for a replacement dwelling in the countryside. Our client approached us having acquired a property which was under construction but which had not been built in accordance with the approved and historic planning permission.
Harwood Savin was instructed by a client to advise on a number of matters relating to a very prominent Grade II listed building on a main shopping in this popular seaside town.
Dining Hall Extension
Sherfield School, Sherfield on Loddon, Hook, Hampshire
(Client: Sherfield School)
Harwood Savin were instructed by Sherfield School to advise upon the partial implementation of historic permissions for planning and listed building consent which were due to lapse. We worked closely with the School and the appointed Architects (Cover Storey), to ensure that the permissions which included the dining hall extension, remained extant. This was achieved by the submission of details to discharge conditions to address a range of matters, attached to both the planning and listed building consents and to enable a lawful commencement of development.
Maintaining a close working relationship with officers at Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council was critical to the success of this project to ensure that discharge notices were received in a timely manner to enable a start on site before the permissions lapsed.
As the dining hall extension formed part of a historic consent for a wider development including new science provision and performing arts, it was critical to ensure that a partial implementation of the consents could be implemented.
