6 months into planning, negotiations had stalled. Then we were brought in.

Our client is developing 7 flats above a commercial property in Derby City Centre Conservation Area.

But there was a problem.

The replacement of the existing upper-floor windows had become the subject of detailed discussions with Planning and Heritage Officers — and after six months, the application had reached a standstill.

Our job was to unlock it.

We took over, identified what was preventing the scheme from gaining officer support and developed a detailed window strategy balancing heritage significance, architectural appearance, residential performance and buildability.

That meant working through the detail:

• Retaining and repairing important historic windows
• Developing appropriate heritage replacement windows
• Protecting decorative and stained-glass features
• Resolving secondary glazing
• Providing detailed window schedules and specifications
• Addressing acoustic and ventilation requirements
• Giving officers the evidence needed to support the scheme

Following further engagement and revisions, planning permission was secured. ✓

For property investors, planning delays aren’t just frustrating — they can have a real impact on the viability and delivery of a development.

🏚️➡️🏡 Investing in HMOs in an Article 4 area?

This former HMO had fallen behind modern standards and lost its planning use. Our proposal reimagines it as high-quality co-living accommodation, designed to meet today’s expectations while navigating the challenges of an Article 4 area.

Not every HMO application gets approved at committee…

But this one did. ✅

This 7-bedroom Sui Generis HMO in Nottingham is a great example of how the right planning strategy, a well-considered design, and strong client involvement can help navigate the planning process and unlock a site’s full potential.

A huge congratulations to our clients, who spoke at committee and played an important role in achieving a positive outcome.

🏡✅ Another planning milestone achieved in Nottingham.

We’ve successfully secured 2 Certificates of Lawfulness as part of a staged HMO planning strategy.

Rather than jumping straight into a planning application, we first focused on establishing lawful development rights 📜, strengthening the planning position 🎯, and creating a pathway towards future Sui Generis HMO use 🏠📈.

The best HMO projects don’t start with drawings alone—they start with the right strategy 💡.
