McLoughlin Planning has successfully 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙡 for nine homes on land at Lydiard Millicent, close to the Wiltshire and Swindon boundary.

The site lay outside Wiltshire's settlement boundary and was therefore treated as countryside under the development plan. Despite this, the Inspector concluded that the site was physically well-related to existing settlement development and granted planning permission.

The decision is particularly noteworthy because it is one of the earliest appeal decisions to consider Policy S5 under the revised National Planning Policy Framework.

For landowners and developers, it provides useful insight into how sites outside settlement boundaries may be assessed, especially in areas where councils cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

𝗔 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗦𝗞 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸!💡

🌱 It was an excellent session, with useful updates on a range of biodiversity and Biodiversity Net Gain matters, including practical points regarding off-site BNG delivery, local delivery opportunities and forthcoming requirements for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.

✅ One clear takeaway was the importance of early engagement with BNG. Understanding ecological requirements at the outset can help shape better development strategies, identify opportunities for meaningful enhancement, and support more practical planning advice for clients.

🔄 While specialist ecological advice rightly sits with the relevant experts, sessions like this help us stay informed as part of our ongoing CPD, so we can continue to provide clients with practical, well-rounded planning advice.

The lunch was also very much appreciated!😋

With less than three weeks to go, our Co-Managing Director, Jenny McLoughlin, and Account Manager, Harriet Fleming, are stepping up their preparations for the London to Paris cycle ride with Women in Property.

Setting off on 24 September, they will cycle hundreds of kilometres while raising funds for the 4ED Foundation, McLoughlin Planning's chosen charity for 2026. The charity provides vital support to families affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Both Jenny and Harriet have been training hard, and the countdown is now well and truly on.

If you would like to support them, we would love to hear your words of encouragement. And if you are able to make a donation, every contribution, no matter the size, will help the 4ED Foundation continue its important work supporting families affected by MND.

Although plan-led, careful work was still needed to address landscape, drainage, design and the site’s relationship with the village.

Through early consultation and an iterative design process, the scheme has evolved into a development that reflects local character and delivers meaningful community benefits, including:

👉 Open space
👉 Play provision
👉 Green infrastructure

A strong outcome for our client—and a positive addition to Crudwell.
