Planning consent for Paragraph 79 (now Paragraph 80)

Posted Monday 02 August, 2021 in News

Countryside new build

We are very excited to be featured not once but twice in the Architects Journal! (A very respected national architecture magazine.) The articles relate to our successful Paragraph 79 and now Paragraph 80 planning application. It is lovely to see our work appreciated by not only the local community but also by our architectural peers.

Under the conditions of the National Planning Policy Framework, to gain planning consent for such a designer scheme in green belt, the project must be assessed and according to Paragraph 79, which this month was updated to Paragraph 80; judged as being of exceptional quality, as truly outstanding and to reflect the highest standards in architecture. It must also help to raise the standards of design more generally in rural areas, significantly enhance its immediate setting and be sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area.

We engaged Johnson Design 4 years ago at the start of a big renovation and new build project. Matt Spinks has always taken our ideas or vague notions of an idea and turned them into something innovative which is both attractive and practical. We were delighted with the final plans which went straight through planning permission, even though part of the project was a Grade 2 listed renovation. As a project manager Matt has also been first rate and thoroughly supportive. We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Design.

We have used Johnson Design several times and have always found them so helpful, efficient and professional. We are presently using them for a complex multi-building design and Vic has brought such vision and interest to our options. Our views are always taken seriously (something a previous architect we had dealt with didn’t do) making you feel very involved in all designs and decisions.
We would highly recommend this company regardless of how big or small your design is.

It has always been such a delight to have you working in unison here with me and with difficult and sometimes impossible deadlines which we always managed to achieve.

Johnson Design Partnership is a forward thinking and progressive Architectural Practice with a track record of successful projects to date. In my experience they always deliver to time scale and within budget and they bring a flair and innovative style that makes them a pleasure to work with I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future projects and particularly those involving difficult or complex Planning issues as they have proved in the past that their careful and considered strategic approaches to their projects and the needs of their clients ultimately ensures positive outcomes.

I have recently finished my third project with Johnson Design! Two at my work premises and one residential. Matt Spinks is great to work with and always has great ideas and attention to detail. Will come back for any future projects 🙂

I highly recommend using Vic Johnson and his team at Johnson Design Partnership Limited, who have been appointed to create exciting designs for our new home and to lead the tendering and construction process. Vic and his colleague Becky Bradley have used their considerable depth of knowledge to develop exciting designs and are providing very helpful guidance as required through the decision-making process, whilst also focussing on projected costs and optimising the use of our available budget.
