Phase 1 of The Tideaway Holiday Park in St Osyth in Essex is now complete!

https://www.thetideaway.co.uk/lodges/

We’re delighted to have been part of creating another beautiful holiday retreat in a fantastic location, offering the best of both worlds – the tranquility of the countryside, with the charm of the seaside just a short distance away.

Paul Robinson Partnership provided a full service, from initial design through to on-site delivery, helping bring this exciting development to life.

Designed with space, comfort and natural surroundings in mind, Tideaway Holiday Park provides the perfect setting to relax and unwind.

We’re pleased to have secured a positive Certificate of Lawfulness of Existing Use or Development (CLEUD) for a long-established holiday park on the North Norfolk coast.

The application sought to demonstrate that caravans and lodges had been occupied during a historically restricted January/February period for more than 10 years, such that the breach of the original occupancy condition had become lawful through the passage of time.

This was a particularly interesting case involving a complex planning history, historic permissions dating back to the early 1990s and detailed booking records covering more than a decade.

Following constructive discussions with the Local Planning Authority, the Council accepted the evidence and issued the certificate, confirming the restricted-period occupation as lawful and immune from enforcement action.

A very good outcome for the client and a useful reminder of the importance of maintaining historic records and understanding the distinction between seeking a new planning permission and establishing an existing lawful position.

If you have a similar planning query, or would like to understand whether a CLEUD could help establish the lawful position of your site, please get in touch.

What do you get when you combine the Norfolk Broads, a dilapidated windmill, a couple of Norfolk hoodlums, and a few slightly lost animals? Our entry for the Norwich Forum for the Construction Industry’s annual LEGO Competition!

We had a brilliant evening at The Assembly House in Norwich last night, putting our creativity (and LEGO-building skills!) to the test.

Our Norfolk Broads-inspired creation featured a suitably weathered windmill with fully functioning sails, a canary as a nod to Norwich City FC, a low-speed police chase unfolding on the water, a local boy on his tractor (said in a Norfolk accent!), and even a few local animals that appeared to have lost their way!

It was a fun evening full of creativity, teamwork and plenty of laughs. A big thank you to the NFCI for organising another hugely enjoyable event, and to everyone who helped make the evening such fun.

It was our pleasure to welcome Eva to PRP last week for her work experience.

Eva approached us looking for a placement in the industry as she is keen to pursue architecture as a career. In her time with us we got her fully involved in taking a client's brief and assessing the site's constraints and parameters, before researching and understanding specific requirements, and then working up a set of plans, elevations and SketchUp model design. She also spent some time with our Architectural Assistant Apprentice Gaby to learn and understand more about the apprentice role as this was a route she was keen on.

Well done Eva and good luck for the future!

💫Enjoying dark skies! 💫

After the world turned their eyes to the skies this week for the solar eclipse and the Perseid meteor showers, it's great to see our clients Kelling Heath Holiday Park hosting stargazing events that are proving very popular for their customers.

https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/26443483.kelling-heath-holiday-park-host-wild-sky-weekend/

The site is a prime example of the dark skies strategy, and the principle of minimising upward light pollution, which is now a common requirement in planning applications. PRP have been involved with a number of projects over the years and the dark skies policy adopted by the Park is always an important part of schemes.

Please join us in celebrating the fantastic achievements of our Architectural Assistant Apprentice, Gaby, who has just completed year two of her Architecture degree at London South Bank University.

As part of her work, Gaby produced a series of impressive renders of the iconic Vennesla Library in Norway (chosen with a little help from Craig!) Gaby modeled the building in SketchUp before bringing it to life through Lumion and Photoshop, showcasing her ever-expanding skills in architectural practice. Alongside her design work, her essay and written work continues to improve, having received excellent feedback for her ‘Recasting Modernism in the Human City’ essay - which gained another much-deserved distinction recognising the hard work, dedication and commitment she shows not only in her studies, but in her role here at PRP too.

Congratulations Gaby, we love having you as part of the team and watching as you've continued to learn and develop here at PRP.

Wishing PRP Partner Craig Liversidge all the luck in the world for his Trek26 for Alzheimer's Society - taking place tomorrow!

26 miles is not a small undertaking, and we're very proud of him! He's already raised a phenomenal amount of money for this worthwhile cause, as the charity works towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

It's fantastic to see a client, and project, thriving!

We worked with The Coach House Suffolk in Carlton Colville to convert their former function room into eight en-suite apartments and a cabin accommodation. They are already proving to be a hit, receiving superb guest feedback ready for the summer season ahead!

The project was completed alongside Gilbert Builders.

We recently welcomed Tom Carter from Jane Austen College to PRP for his work experience placement. Tom took part in an architectural feasibility exercise, exploring some of the key stages of early design, from reviewing a brief and considering context, through to sketching ideas, testing layouts, developing simple massing in SketchUp, and preparing visuals to communicate his concept.

He also presented his work back to the team, reflecting on the process, the challenges he encountered, and the skills he developed during his time with us.

Tom said:“I have really enjoyed these past few days, it has helped me develop skills needed not just for architecture, but the working world.”

Well done Tom, it was great to have you with us and we wish you the best for the future.

A recently completed project of two houses on Marine Parade, Gorleston. Replacing an outdated single dwelling with two carefully considered contemporary homes and revitalising a prominent coastal plot.

The three-storey houses incorporate 5 bedrooms, plus a study and extensive kitchen and open-plan living spaces including balconies overlooking Gorleston's award winning beach!

Throughout the design process, careful attention was given to scale, massing and roof forms to ensure the proposals sit comfortably within the established character of the street, reflecting the varied roofscape and proportions found along Marine Parade.

PRP handled design, planning and building regulations approval for the project, ensuring a seamless process for our client.
