Spelthorne Planning & Conservation Areas

Conservation areas are sites of historical or architectural importance. Building and redevelopment can be a more complex process due to more planning regulations and constraints applying within such areas. However our highly trained staff have the expertise to address more challenging planning and design issues. We achieve the aims of our clients both on an aesthetic and functional level whilst adhering to regulations set out by the local planning authority.

Planning in Spelthorne

According to the most recent census, the population of Spelthorne is around 95,600, whilst the number of households is approximately 39,500. These rose by 5.9% and 2.9% from ten years before. With the rise in population and number of households, plus the current shortage of housing within the South East, there is a growing demand for new builds and extensions in boroughs such as Spelthorne. Commercial and leisure facilities are also in increasing demand. Get Planning and Architecture is able to assist with these projects and can guide you expertly through the process.

The main areas of Spelthorne are: Ashford, Charlton, Kempton, Laleham, Littleton, Shepperton, Staines-upon-Thames, Stanwell, Stanwell Moor, Sunbury-on-Thames and Upper Halliford.

Spelthorne News

At Get Planning and Architecture our architects and planning team stay up to date with building and development news in the UK. This is so that our planners and architects have an understanding of the needs of both the location and those that reside there.

A decision was going to be made regarding the transformation of the disused telephone exchange building in Staines. Woodhall properties submitted a planning application in Autumn 2014 for the exchange building on Elmsleigh Rd to be converted into 140 flats, and for a new Hotel to be constructed on the site. The plans are controversial, with some arguing that the buildings will be overbearing.

In other news, earlier in 2014, a controversial five-storey hotel was approved at the ‘gateway to Staines’. The development includes 132 bedrooms and is intended to bring a positive contribution to the local economy, as well as a landmark for those entering Staines. However, some are concerned that it will bring about parking issues for local residents, whilst others are disappointed that the site was not being used to provide more housing for the area.
