Planning permission granted for Passivhaus dwelling in rural setting.

Planning permission has been granted for a contemporary detached Passivhaus dwelling on a rural site under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraph 84 (formerly paragraph 80). This approval, which is a rare achievement, recognizes the proposal's exceptional design, which meets the highest standards in architecture while respecting its rural surroundings.

NPPF paragraph 84 allows for the development of homes in rural locations, provided the design is truly outstanding and demonstrates innovation. The approval of this project under these criteria speaks to the strength of the proposal, showcasing a commitment to both cutting-edge design and sustainability. The dwelling will be constructed to the Passivhaus standard, ensuring exceptional energy efficiency and comfort for its future residents.

Construction is set to begin in 2025, and we are excited to see this project come to life.
