Charlotte shares her thoughts on a placement year at TRPC
Aug 19, 2024
During 2023/24, TRPC employed Charlotte MacDonald, an undergraduate studying Planning and Development at Cardiff University. Charlotte will soon be returning to her studies to finish her degree and will be greatly missed. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time working with Charlotte.
Charlotte worked alongside our Senior Planning Consultant, Angela Cantrill and gained experience across a wide range of projects. Is a placement year something that interests you? If so, it is worth reading her thoughts on her time at The Rural Planning Co and the value of taking time out of the academic environment.

Sometimes planning just slots into place.
Last week Angela Cantrill, Senior Planning Consultant at The Rural Planning Co achieved approval for not just one but two Rural Workers Dwellings. This comes as no surprise to the team as Angela is the go to for her fantastic knowledge in this area of rural planning.

What are your chances of achieving Class Q?
Jul 18, 2024
Due to recent changes in Class Q Permitted Development Rights (PDRs), this is a hot topic in planning right now. This PDR allows farmers to convert underutilised, redundant farm buildings into residential dwellings.
The research and work that a good planning consultant can add to your application cannot be underestimated, but a good starting point is to research the success rates of previous applications in your area.

Jun 24, 2024
Last week we had an enquiry from a potential client who referred to the loosening of the rules and referenced "Clarkson's Clause".
There has been quite a bit of chat on social and in the press about the effect of Clarkson’s farm on planning laws and making it easier to get planning.
