This is a design that I am currently working on. Unlike my other designs, I’m publishing as I work through the design process so new sections will be published as I write them. My previous designs I’ve published once the design was finished. You will find some of the section links will not do anything when clicked on, this is intentional due to me not having anything in that section to publish yet.  

On the 16^th of August 2023, I received a letter from the North Yorkshire Council informing me they have received an application for full planning permission for a residential development of 28 dwellings and associated infrastructure on the land that my house looks onto. The letter from the planning officer told me I had until the 6^th of September for the council to consider any comments I may wish to make in writing to them.   

In this design, I will take a retrospective look at the lessons learnt from this experience and what can be done to be better prepared when such applications for full planning permission arise in the future.

The design framework I will be using for this design is FORAGE – Focus – Observe – Research – Apply – Gather – Evaluate.
