Richmondshire is one of the simplest places in the country to get planning permission, new research has found. Jayne Dowle finds out more about the situation.
Get Agent property experts analysed official planning permission application data from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, to achieve their findings, collecting information on the number of planning permissions and the number of applications approved for the period of 01/10/2021 – 30/09/2022, for 315 districts within the UK.
Bottom of the list is Barking and Dagenham in east London, with a 66.07 per cent approval rate. All top 10 of the most difficult-to-achieve areas, including Watford in Hertfordshire and Epping Forest, Essex, are in London and the surrounding Home Counties. “We’ve seen a lot of recent positive development in Richmondshire,” says Ben Pridden, director of north Yorkshire and Cumbria estate agency Hewetson and Johnson, https://www.hewetsonandjohnson.co.uk/. “We sold two plots in recent weeks, both bought by good local developers, one attracted significant multiple bids, one sold within the week. They favour Richmondshire because they have confidence in the ability to sell the product.
“Richmondshire has taken on the obligation to provide housing, there is a real demand between £400,000 and £600,000 and they’re selling. A lot of good operators are developing these sites, confident there is a decent market.” Richmondshire’s RIBA National Award-winning Hushh [CORR SP] House, designed by Elliott Architects.
