Planning in the Peak District National Park

by architect_Studio Gedye

Winning planning approvals in the Peak District National Park … and building them!

Studio Gedye is based in the Peak District National Park and has successfully gained planning permission for many design projects in the area.

Approvals range from extensions to cottages and houses, barn and chapel conversions, a yoga studio and alterations to the outdoor swimming pool at Hathersage. Take a look at the examples here.

Our approach is to examine your requirements, work up and agree design options with you (which hopefully exceed you expectations!) and then gain the required approvals. By making a strong case for the preferred design, and through detailed negotiation with the Peak District National Park Authority, we have been successful in gaining many planning approvals for our clients.

We can also assist with building your project. We can design the work in detail, producing construction drawings and gaining building regulation approval for the plans. This will reassure you that your build is compliant with current building regulations prior to a start on site. We can recommend builders to make the build run smoothly and specialise in grand designs but without the grief!

Throughout his career architect, Simon Gedye has worked in sensitive environments, on many important listed buildings. It is this experience that informs our approach to design within the national park. Simon is an RIBA Accredited Conservation Architect. Accreditation is awarded by the RIBA to architects who ‘demonstrate depth of understanding of conservation practice, principles and philosophy’.
