Planning House are ecstatic to announce that Durham County Council Planning Committee overturned officer recommendation and approved planning permission for a forestry workers dwelling in County Durham. The benefits of the scheme shone through and we couldn't be happier for our clients who run a logging business. It's times like this that we love what we do and can see how much the approval means to our clients.

Planning House were proud to sponsor the Derwentside Reservoir Trail Races 2019. We were super proud to have our very own Helen Heward representing Planning House along with her husband Adam and Chris Pipe, husband of Chris Pipe, Planning House Director (2 Chris’s confusing isn’t it!).
