The CGI above helped to secure a controversial planning permission for a redevelopment project in Hartlepool. The project will see the demolition of the derelict Headland Gate public house, and it's replacement with an iconic mixed commercial and residential development on this important gateway site to the historic Headland.

 

 

The CGI above helped secure planning approval for a 44 bed nursing home for Executive Care Group, on a green belt site in Mickley Square, in the Tyne Valley. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The three CGI's shown here above, helped to gain Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent for large scale extensions to a Grade ll listed building. The original planning department advice was that a double garage to the left of the property, and a modest conservatory to the right of the property would be considered acceptable in planning terms. The use of the CGI's to demonstrate the impact of the proposed extensions on the host Grade ll building, helped to convey that the host building would not become 'lost', or subservient in the finished scheme. Full Planning Permission was granted for the development as shown in the CGI's.
