PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Detailed planning permission has been secured for a variety of Fire Stations across the north of England including a £13m project, funded by the Fire Transformation Fund, for the delivery of the UK’s first ‘quad station’ in Barnard Castle. The proposals saw unanimous approval of an emergency response centre built on the outskirts of market town Barnard Castle. A recent permission for Ponteland Fire Station was also unanimously approved at planning committee in 2019. The re-located site allows the demolition of the original site to make space for the erection of a wider public sector development of the new Ponteland Leisure Centre and Schools also an instruction of Hedley Planning. We have delivered Fires stations for County Durham and Darlington Fire Authority and Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service.

BENEFITS TO CLIENT
Full consultation with land owners, Key Stakeholders and neighbours, collation and response of comments.

“The service we received from HPS was outstanding. All communications were dealt with highly professionally and in a structured and clear manner. The firm came up with practical and cost-effective solutions to the difficulties raised by the planning authorities. Any problem was always handled very quickly and in a way which meant we could move forward with a minimum of delay.”
