Randall Thorp provided masterplanning and environmental planning services for this residential scheme on the edge of Congleton, Cheshire. Our site assessment work, coupled with a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment influenced our development of the masterplan for up to 220 homes. This scheme was initially refused outline planning permission by the Planning Committee and was subsequently appealed by our client. Randall Thorp provided Expert Witness services on landscape and visual matters at the Public Inquiry and helped successfully overturn the decision, gaining outline planning approval on appeal in December 2015.
