Introduction
ELG Planning, formerly known as England & Lyle, are a well established town planning practice who have been assisting
clients in the private and public sector for over 20 years. The practice has been rebranded to celebrate our twentieth
anniversary, to mark the retirment of Dr John England and to acknowledge the role of Director Jeremy Good. We have a
strong team of chartered town planners with over 100 years of experience in the planning system . Having worked or
practiced in many authorities in the region and beyond, we have excellent working relationships and contacts with many
local planning authorities.
Over the past 20 years, the practice has secured planning permission for thousands of new homes, over 30 new schools
and hospitals and over 1 million sq ft of office and retail floorspace. We have advised on numerous projects involving a
wide range of planning issues on schemes ranging from quarries to solar farms; log cabins to hotels; sheltered housing
to student accommodation; offices to power stations and supermarkets to waste operations.
Our clients come in all shapes and sizes including numerous PLCs, as well as private individuals. We offer planning
support to public and private sector clients and operate across the country. Planning advice is delivered to our clients by
our professional and enthusiastic team who possess a wide range of skills and expertise in the marketplace. We have
been heavily involved in a number of prestigious projects some of which are contained within this brochure.
All our eligible staff are Members of the Royal Town Planning Institute and the Practice has recently been awarded RTPI
Learning Partner status in recognition of our high level of commitment to training and professional development.
What We Do
As a practice we perform a variety of roles for our many clients depending on the nature of the brief. We are regularly
required to undertake a whole project management role alongside the usual planning reports, whilst some clients just
require a planning report or even just the knowledge that we are the end of a phone line should any planning issues
arise. We work alongside many other professions during the course of a project and these contacts are essential in
providing the level of service we commit to with every project. Below is a selective list of the sectors we generally work
within,and the type of work we are regularly appointed to undertake.

Residential Case Study
Wynyard Village Extension
ELG Planning act for Cameron Hall Developments Ltd promoting their land interests at the historic Wynyard Estate on
Teesside.
This has included the preparation and submission of planning applications for a large scale extension to Wynyard Village
to include up to 634 new homes, a primary school, retail units and community facilities. The proposals will provide the
additional housing and facilities needed to enhance the sustainability of Wynyard Village and deliver much needed
executive housing in the Tees Valley.
The site presented a number of complex strategic planning issues which could only be resolved by employing a
collaborative approach (facilitated by ATLAS, the HCAs Advisory Team for Large Application) with the two Local Planning
Authorities and the adjacent landowner.
In addition to Wynyard, ELG Planning have acted for clients to secure planning permission and promote land for a
number of prestigious housing schemes including:
• Morley Carr Farm (Stockton) • Ballard Hall (Sheffield) • Clifton Court (York)
• Acklam Hall (Middlesbrough) • Morrington Terrace (Harrogate) • Arla Foods (N’allerton)
• Scarcroft Lodge (Leeds) • Rose Cottage Fm (M’boro) • Hambleton (Selby)
• Phoenix Tower (Sunderland) • BBH Windings (Durham) • Galley Hill (G’Borough)
• Wyvern Park (Skipton) • White House Farm (Stokesley) • Bishops Place (D’ton)
• Lingfield Point (D’ton) • Castle Vale (Barnard Castle) • Middleton Tyas (Yorks)
• Kingfishers (Carlton Miniott) • Broughton Manor (Malton) • Mickledales (Redcar)

Leisure Case Study
Jump 360 & Fun Shack, Stockton-On-Tees
ELG Planning have assisted Funshack in securing planning permission for two large-scale leisure facilities in the
Portrack area of Stockton-on-Tees. Planning permission was granted for the North East’s largest indoor children’s play
centre incorporating Clip N’ Climb in March 2013. The play centre opened later in 2013 and continues to be a popular
destination for parents and children on Teesside. More recently, Funshack have opened their first indoor trampoline park
(Jump 360) on Portrack Lane following the grant of planning permission achieved by ELG Planning. On both occasions,
ELG Planning successfully demonstrated that there were no sequentially preferable sites capable of accommodating
the proposed uses and that the proposed leisure uses would not give rise to adverse impacts on nearby town centres.
ELG Planning also have considerable experience in other areas of the leisure and tourism sectors, having been involved
in numerous projects within these sectors, including Gym, hotel developments, rural holiday lodge and caravan sites,
farm shops and art house cinemas.’

Mixed Use Regeneration Case Study
Fletton Quays, Peterborough
ELG Planning secured planning permission for an ambitious redevelopment of a key brownfield site on the banks of
the River Nene in Peterborough with excellent views of the imposing cathedral. Led by ELG Planning and architects
ArchialNorr, the project team had to contend with issues including impact on listed buildings, Scheduled Monuments,
Flood Risk, Ecology and complex legal issues. The scheme achieved outline planning permission in late 2015 within
10 weeks of submission and the subsequent reserved matters will see the site delivering nearly 300 new homes, a
prestigious hotel, new office accommodation and many ancillary leisure, food and drink uses. The scheme will also see
the redevelopment of the existing listed railway buildings which are retained on site.

Heritage Case Study
Tower Works, Leeds
ELG Planning assisted Carillion (Maple Oak) Ltd in achieving preferred bidder status from the Homes & Communities
Agency (HCA) through a competitive bid process with planning carrying a crucial pass/fail criteria. Having been awarded
the project we have worked closely with Jestico & Whiles Architects to help deliver a scheme which addresses the
numerous complex planning issues. The site contains a number of listed buildings (Grade II & II*) and forms an integral
part of the Holbeck Conservation Area. In addition to heritage issues, the design team needed to deal with considerable
technical constraints. Crucially a balance was needed to deliver a scheme which was appropriate in the context of the
many planning constraints but also economically viable to allow the development to proceed, as previous schemes had
failed to materialise.

Education Case Study
Witton Park School, Blackburn
The practice led on the planning application for a replacement school in Blackburn acting for Balfour Beatty Construction.
The site selected was situated within the Green Belt, was part of a historic parkland with a Scheduled Ancient Monument
within the curtilage. Other planning considerations included access, loss of playing fields and residential amenity. The
scheme was completed in 2012 and received a Civic Trust Design Award in 2014.
ELG Planning have worked on in excess of 30 education and health-care projects across the country, including schemes
in Sunderland, Felixstowe, Hull, Blackburn, Bolton, Norwich, Hartlepool, Lincoln and Wakefield.

Retail Case Study
Lidl, Hull
ELG Planning secured planning approval for a discount foodstore and family pub / restaurant at Hedon Road, Hull on
behalf of Lidl.
The submission comprised of a hybrid application securing detailed planning permission for a Lidl foodstore and outline
consent for the family pub / restaurant. The proposals represent multi-million pound investment in East Hull by Lidl
and will secure the long awaited and much needed redevelopment of a prominent site at the junction of Mount Pleasant
Road and Hedon Road, which has stood vacant for over 20 years.
The application was approved unanimously at Planning Committee and Lidl are hoping to make a start on site shortly.
