Navigating the planning permission backlog

We are frequently approached by clients whose projects are trapped in planning limbo. Whether it’s due to huge backlogs in their local area, or inconsistent decision-making requiring a lengthy appeals process, developers agree that planning permission is the greatest obstacle to UK construction. With a spike in housing development expected in response to the housing crisis and a growing need for SEND educational spaces, this backlog is only going to get worse.

The significant delays occurring across the planning permission process are taking years to progress, leading to missed deadlines, increased costs, and disruption to vital services like education and healthcare. Whatever stage of the planning journey your project is at, our team offers a streamlined solution, a bespoke modular system with in-house design and build.

Our modular solution

TG Escapes provides a seamless modular building solution, with fully in-house work across design, manufacture and construction. We are MMC specialists, delivering high-quality permanent buildings for a huge number of clients across the education and commercial sectors. We use a panelised system which allows for a huge degree of customisation, enabling us to design buildings from the ground up or to take over a project that has outline planning permission.

Made from sustainably sourced timber frames and panels, our buildings are optimised for 50 years of everyday usage, built and installed with fast turnaround times. We meet net zero in operation as standard and are also able to achieve biodiversity net gain thanks to our biophilic design commitments. Everything is offered for a single upfront price ensuring budgetary compliance.

Meeting you wherever you are

Our team can join a project at any stage of its planning journey, helping to streamline the approval process and deliver a cost-effective finished building with a rapid turnaround.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, working through early-stage designs, or already have outline planning permission in place, we offer a collaborative approach, working closely with you to align every element of your project. We can also help you to navigate permitted development if we see the opportunity. With a proven track record across the education and commercial sectors, reach out to our team to find out how our modular solution can help you deliver your project on time and within budget.

Streamlined biodiversity net gain

We deliver truly sustainable buildings, manufactured from responsively sourced timber frames and panels. Our team delivers net zero in operation as standard in every building, and we were proud to achieve 100% A+ SBEM ratings in 2024.

We can also help our clients meet all biodiversity net gain requirements, limiting the additional work needed through our biophilic design principles, with an emphasis on outdoor spaces and elements such as green roofs. Across BREEAM, BNG, net zero and SBEM, we’ll collaborate with you to deliver a solution that fulfils all project requirements.

Collaborating with our team

Whether creating a new building from scratch or fulfilling your design brief with a turnkey modular solution, we’ll collaborate with your team throughout. By keeping all work in-house we can avoid delays and ensure straightforward communication between our teams. Here are just a few of the benefits we offer:

• Early-Stage Design Support: Our projects start with a complimentary feasibility review and initial design. This ensures that our team is confident in their ability to deliver the building you need, and allows you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with our solution before committing financially.
• Draft Budget and Programme Consultation: As part of our design support, we’ll put together an initial estimate and a high-level program tailored to your project needs.
• Priority Scheduling for Urgent Projects: We currently have the capacity for fast-track delivery, ideal for time-sensitive educational projects that need to be completed in time for the next academic year. Speak to our team now about priority slot allocation to get started.
• Expert CPD Sessions: We also offer tailored CPD sessions for your team, covering key topics such as timber frame construction, sustainability in design and modern methods of construction. These sessions can be delivered in person or remotely, at a time that suits you.

Our award-winning buildings

• Nine-Classroom Block at Brune Park: Our team delivered a nine-classroom block to Brune Park School, achieving net zero in operation and A+ EPC. We collaborated with MEB Buildings on the project, with associate director Andrew Cowlard saying “From our point of view, it was actually quite seamless and straightforward because TGE took on the project management and actually delivered the project.”
• Sports Pavilion And Dementia Day Care Centre For Shinfield Parish: We created this dual-purpose building, providing facilities for local sports teams alongside a daycare centre for dementia sufferers, receiving 5* feedback from Shinfield Parish Council for our work.
• Changing facilities at Edgeborough School: We worked with Weyside Architects on this net zero project, completing construction in just 24 weeks to meet the school's immediate needs. Sarah Riley, Bursar for Edgeborough School described working with TG Escapes as a “Seamless and rewarding experience from start to finish”.
