"From start to finish of our project the Glampitect team have been at the end of the phone offering advice and help through every step. I do feel without their help we wouldn’t have got our planning in the first place. Highly recommend getting in touch with them if you are thinking of going down the glamping route.
Tom Hadley, Owner of Paradise Valley Hideaways

After receiving a promising report, Tom confidently made the decision to proceed with a planning application.

Another Succesful Planning Application!

The Glampitect team collaborated closely with Tom and his family to fully understand their vision for the glamping site and how they could best achieve their aspirations. They began by completing a feasibility study to identify any potential planning challenges and pave the way for an effortless site design and planning process.

Xanthe, Senior Designer at Glampitect, led the design stage of the project and produced a range of technical drawings required to submit the planning application, including: Location Plan, Layout Plan, Drainage Plan, Road and Access Plan, Lighting Plan and Pod Elevations as well as a Design & Access Statement to make up a detailed planning application.

The Glampitect design team prepared site layout drawings to submit with a full planning application. 

Xanthe also produced 3D artist impressions of the future site to bring Tom's vision to life. Thanks to modern technology, there was no need for a site visit and the entire design process and documents were delivered remotely.

At the initial validation stage after submitting the planning application, the local authority requested a Preliminary Ecological Assessment and Heritage Statement to be provided. Glampitect then revised their drawings to include recommendations from the ecologist to improve biodiversity on site. Once validated, the planning process was very smooth, with the application approved without any further revisions or additional information requested.
