Getting a planning permit can feel like a maze. Between juggling specific site requirements and understanding general overlays, the traditional application process is often lengthy and complex.
But what if we told you not every project has to follow that slow path? At Milton, we’re committed to finding the most efficient way forward for your vision and sometimes, a fast-track planning process is the key to saving you significant time and money.
The Advantage of "Going Fast"
A perfect example of this efficiency is the recent planning permit we secured for a project in Brighton in just two weeks!
We achieved this impressive turnaround using the "Vic Smart" application process, which allowed a single level extension to bypass standard, lengthy timeframes. The key takeaway is clear: when the fast-track system applies, your project can accelerate rapidly, letting you break ground sooner.
Overlays: Your Site's Hidden Influencers
As part of any successful planning strategy, it’s essential to thoroughly investigate all planning overlays on your site. These aren't just technical details; they are crucial factors like flood risk, heritage restrictions, or easements that can directly impact what you can design and build.
- In some extreme cases, these constraints might mean a property isn't suitable for your initial vision (or perhaps even a wise purchase).
- However, they are not always a roadblock. With expert guidance, we can often adapt your design creatively to meet these requirements, ensuring compliance while still adding substantial value to your property.
If you are thinking about a new project or considering a property purchase, we can help interpret these overlays or connect you with trusted professionals for specialised advice.
