A pre-application submission to Westminster Council for a side extension and roof extension received a negative response. A formal application was made that sought a compromise in the design, but the Council still objected to the scheme on the basis of the harm to the conservation area and effect on 'gaps' in the street. We appealed the scheme and the Inspector agreed with our case that the design and scale of the extensions were suitable, and that the St John's Wood Conservation Area would not be harmed.

We assisted landowners to object to an application for the installation of a new telecommunications mast on highway land opposite their property. The application was refused by the local planning authority.
Client: MSG Group Planning permission had been granted for a modern house in the countryside, near Wokingham in Berkshire, as a self-build project. The permission did not include everything that the client wished, and we were involved in a long-running saga to get additional outbuildings and garage for the landowner. Through various applications for planning permission and lawfulness we eventually obtained, on appeal, the building that the client wanted, and he can complete his own 'Grand Design'.
Client: private householder Another appeal won in the LB Richmond, and this time for an extension to a house within the Twickenham Conservation Area. The site forms part of distinctive modernist housing scheme, proposed for local listing, and the works will see a change to the original form and design of the house. We demonstrated to the Inspector there would not be any harm to the architectural composition of the buildings, nor to communal gardens on the estate.
