Residential Case Study Helmington Grange Hemlington Grange is a long standing mixed use strategic allocation for housing and employment land owned by Middlesbrough Borough Council.

5 Residential Case Study Helmington Grange Hemlington Grange is a long standing mixed use strategic allocation for housing and employment land owned by Middlesbrough Borough Council. ELG Planning took on the scheme from preferred bidder status to deliver a hybrid planning consent. Given the ownership of the site, the work involved a considerable amount of public consultation over a period of time prior to the planning application being submitted. ELG Planning secured detailed consent for the erection of 124 dwellings, associated garaging, landscaping and ancillary works and a new signal controlled junction from Stokesley Road, while outline approval was granted for residential development (up to 1106 dwellings) associated landscaping, SUDs infrastructure; Extra Care Facility; and Access from Stainton Way. The application was granted planning consent for a major new strategic development in less than 13 weeks from the date of validation. This was achieved through extensive pre-application discussions and public engagement. The site involved input from a number of developers and interested parties. ELG s role in mediating to secure the best result for its client while delivering on the Council s aspirations was key to the success of the scheme. Numerous consultation events were held and the consultation exercise was hosted on ELG s dedicated webpage. The scheme included an elderly care scheme as well as a range of housing. Green infrastructure and wider pedestrian linkages were a key element to the development of the masterplan.

7 Heritage Case Study Tower Works, Leeds ELG Planning assisted Carillion (Maple Oak) Ltd in achieving preferred bidder status from the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) through a competitive bid process with planning carrying a crucial pass/fail criteria. Having been awarded the project we have worked closely with Jestico & Whiles Architects to help deliver a scheme which addresses the numerous complex planning issues. The site contains a number of listed buildings (Grade II & II*) and forms an integral part of the Holbeck Conservation Area. In addition to heritage issues, the design team needed to deal with considerable technical constraints. Crucially a balance was needed to deliver a scheme which was appropriate in the context of the many planning constraints but also economically viable to allow the development to proceed, as previous schemes had failed to materialise. Planning permission was granted unanimously at City Plans Panel in February Listed Building Consent and Change of Use of the Engine Building followed shortly after.
