🏡 A larger dwelling approved on Green Belt previously developed land – Wakefield

Posted by JRP_Admin on 19 January 2026

We’ve recently secured planning permission for a generous dwelling on a Green Belt site, significantly exceeding what the previous planning consultants had managed to secure.

We presented a clear case that policy restrictions have been significantly eased under the current NPPF and that the development would not breach the threshold of substantial harm to openness.

If you have a site with permission under the old NPPF, or are looking into what is possible in the Green Belt more generally, please get in touch and we would be happy to help.
