Severn Road Apartments
We successfully secured full planning consent for three new residential apartments in Gloucester. Our client approached us with the aspiration of converting the property into residential apartments which followed the original permission secured in 2020 for an extension to an existing building to provide offices.
Located within a The Docks Conservation Area, Flood Zone 2/3 and surrounded by listed buildings, the site also faced multiple ecology and archaeology constraints. This was a challenging case that required careful consideration to ensure the design protected and enhanced the Conservation Area as well as sitting well within its context, including the established building line. Through proactive engagement with Council officers and communication with the wider project team, we managed to overcome initial concerns with design and location within Flood Zone 2. We argued that the proposals did not need to include a Sequential Test, given the location in Gloucester city centre and Housing Zone.
The overall planning balance was in favour of development and we were able to persuade Officers that no Sequential Test was required and ultimately secured planning permission for three new apartments.
