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.
(Client: Kingsbridge)
We have successfully secured planning permission for three units (4,374 sqm) of industrial/commercial accommodation, within two state of the art, sustainable and flexible buildings, on a former office site in Hook, Hampshire.
Acting for Kingsbridge, we provided advice at the pre-application stage including discussions with Hart District Council and Hook Parish Council and undertook a public and stakeholder engagement exercise prior to the submission of the application
Feedback from this informed the preparation and submission of the application, which we co-ordinated with inputs from third party technical consultants. Following submission of the application we worked closely with officers at Hart District Council to progress the application to a successful resolution at Development Management Committee. Our advice also included matters in relation to planning conditions and the conclusion of a S106 Agreement.
One of our key objectives with this instruction was to ensure that Kingsbridge could deliver a highly sustainable development and one which was sufficiently flexible to meet potential occupier requirements. This required careful balancing with the close proximity of existing residential properties
