Looking back over a really successful and productive 2022 this week. The Wharfe team have worked on a multifarious array of planning applications across all rural sectors throughout the year. 2023 looks to be very exciting! #planningsector #ruralplanning #planningsolutions

We’re looking for a Senior Planning Consultant. If you're great at building rapport, have a solid understanding of the planning system & bags of initiative, you could be just the person we’re looking for! Become part of an amazing team, where you can make a real difference.

𝗦𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀! We've been busy with new enquiries relating to new or expanded slurry stores. This is partly driven by this Grant which opened for applications this week. Get in touch with our planning team today for expert advice!

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 & 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - Legislation exists allowing for the installation of renewable energy equipment on domestic & non-domestic properties without the need to apply for permission☀️💨

Ever wondered what it takes to get over the ‘exceptional’ bar for a paragraph 80e dwelling? This! Shaped like 2 fuselage halves of a De Havilland Mosquito plane flown from adjacent airfield site during WWII. An isolated dwelling allowed in open countryside based on the design!😍

Excellent example of what can be achieved with inspired thinking & good design creating life changing opportunities on farms in #Cheshire. The original pigsty buildings will enable multi-generational living future proofing the farm! 👏🚜🥰 Can't wait to see the next stage!

The WRP Team has been growing with 2 new members joining this year we thought it was about time we had a team photo taken! Adam Mustafa joined us as a Planning Consultant & Heather Clawson joined as Ben Wharfe’s PA. Check out our website for more info on the team! #teamwork

Great news for one of our agricultural clients adding to his existing tourism offer onsite. Prior approval has been granted for a Class R/COU on a redundant #farmshed to be converted into #selfcatering aparthotel #shortstay accommodation! #Cheshire

We've secured planning permission for 2 new dwellings on a greenfield site within the Jodrell Bank Consultation Zone. Many thanks to @ArchitectureTom's excellent design, & pragmatic approach and to @CheshireEast’s Planning Officer-working together for positive results!

In a rare appeal decision that goes against Jodrell Bank, a planning inspector has allowed 4 new homes in open countryside within the Jodrell Bank Consultation Zone. The proposed scheme included a Protection Plan & several other mitigating factors. instagram.com/p/CkN-n02NYOT/

Update on #CheshireEast #LocalPlan Part 2! The inspector examining the report has issued his final report. We are pleased these include the points that we made representation on- check out all the details here.. instagram.com/p/CkQK0mjtFIn/

Huge Congrats to all who took part at yesterday’s @StaffordshireYFC Fence Erecting Competition! @eccleshallyfc won🥇with @leekyfc in 2nd place! Both teams will now go forward to represent @StaffordshireYFC at the West Midlands Area round of the competition later in the year. 🏆

Extremely interesting @womeninplanning & @Kings_Chambers Inquiry Training Event full of practical advice, tips, tricks & traps on preparing for & put forward the best case at appeal, from leading barristers, expert witnesses from public/private sectors & legal professionals

CGIs are a fantastic tool to show just what can be achieved! This ClassQ App is to transform a large modern portal frame agricultural building on a redundant farm into 5 beautiful residential dwellings. CGIs show the finer details of the proposed scheme bringing it to life!

NFYFC is mourning the loss of its patron Her Majesty The Queen and sends its deepest sympathies to the @RoyalFamily. Since 1957, The Queen has been a committed patron of Young Farmers’ Clubs and the opportunities the organisation provides to rural young people. #TheQueen

We would like to offer our deepest sympathy to all members of the Royal Family following the sad news of Her Majesty The Queens passing. Her strong connections to farming and rural life demonstrated her love and devotion to the British countryside. Thank you.

NFU President @Minette_Batters DL pays tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
