An appeal has been allowed to grant planning permission for a rear extension to a semi-detached house in Surrey. The client had submitted a scheme before our involvement, which had been refused permission on the grounds of design and harm to the neighbours. We advised in relation to a modified design to address design issues, but anticipated the amenity issue may remain. Following the refusal on amenity grounds we took the case to appeal and successfully argued that there would be no harm to the nearest residents. Planning permission was granted by the Inspector.

Looking sparkling in the Spring sunshine, we were pleased to see the completion of a roof extension to a mixed commercial and residential property on Fulham Road, Chelsea.
The Council had refused planning permission for the extension on the grounds of design, for this prominent corner site adjoining a conservation area. We successfully argued at appeal that the design was more suited for the building and context than the 'traditional' scheme the Council preferred. The Inspector agreed that there should always be a place the  zinc finish would be suitable.

An appeal has been allowed for re-modelling and extension at the back of a terrace house in Chiswick, London. The Council had refused permission due to the scale of the extension, the design and the effect on neighbours. We made the case that the extension would be suitable for the house and there would not be any harm to light or outlook. The appeal was allowed, and the clients now have a much larger extension than the Council would have permitted.
