April Success
JBPL Secures Multiple Approvals in April 2025
The JBPL Team have had a very busy April, achieving a number of planning successes on behalf of our clients across East Anglia during this period.
JBPL managed to secured approval for a Reserved Matters Application relating to appearance and landscaping for the erection of five dwellings in Old Newton, Mid Suffolk. This also required obtaining approval for a Discharge of Condition (DOC) application for the same site, specifically revised Surface Water Drainage details.
This followed a successful NMA application to remove the ‘self-build’ element that has been originally attached to these dwellings.
In addition, JBPL successfully gained approval for the East of England Co-Op for a travel pod on their site at Samson Road, Brightlingsea. This was achieved via a Section 73A application which involved close working with Tendring District Council.
The JBPL Team have also been working with Anglian Water on a scheme for the conversion of a former pump house into a 4-bedroom dwelling house, located off Watermill Road, Bucklesham.
This was approved by East Suffolk Council on April 11th 2025.
The unique design, materials, history and character of the former pump house were considered to be fundamental to the proposed conversion, and will therefore be retained as part of the future conversion.
It was a great experience to work with Anglian Water in trying to bring forward this redundant, historical asset. It was a unique project, and we look forward to seeing the finished conversion in the future.
