Nidderdale Planning Consultants

The Nidderdale AONB was established in 1994 to protect the special landscapes in the hills and valleys to the south and east of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is managed by the local AONB partnership and the 3 North Yorkshire Local Planning Authorities (Hambleton, Harrogate, and Richmondshire). The policies affecting a potential development site in the Nidderdale AONB are found in the adopted Local Plan (available on the relevant Local Planning Authority website), the National Planning Policy Framework, and, if relevant, the neighbourhood plan (not all locations are covered by a neighbourhood plan).

Planning Applications & Appeals

We can prepare, submit, and manage a planning application or an appeal on your behalf. Our planning consultants will address the local and national planning policies relevant to the development, prepare the plans and other documents required to gain planning permission, and manage the application or appeal through to its completion.

Planning Drawings & Documents

Planning drawings and supporting reports are required when a planning application or appeal is submitted. We can draft site plans, location plans, floor plans, elevations, and other architectural drawings, and we can also prepare supporting reports such as design and access statements, visual appraisals, and heritage statements.

Planning Appraisals

Prior to preparing an application or appeal, we will carry out an assessment of the application site and the proposed development and provide advice about the acceptability of any proposal. Please contact us if you would like us to provide a planning appraisal detailing the acceptability of a development proposal.
