 Planning permission had been refused for works to the roof and rear of a property in a conservation, just south of Clapham Common in London. The architect and client were keen to appeal, but we considered a slight redesign may address the Council's concerns and recommended a new planning application, without any real loss of the new space sought by the client. We prepared comprehensive evidence to explain how the revised scheme would meet the Council's policies, and the revision was allowed under delegated powers.

 Internal and external works have been granted permission by Westminster City Council to a large listed property. The alterations will see the insertion of a lift and new staircases, and the reconfiguration of a property that has seen alterations in the past. This will greatly improve the quality of the living space for the new purchaser.
Client: private householder  Planning permission has been granted at appeal for extensions and alterations to a house in the Green Belt and within a conservation area under the rarely-used 'very special circumstances' argument.
The scheme would have seen a further extension to a house that had already been substantially extended over the years. We argued that even though that was the case - and so on the face of it conflicted with national planning policy - there were substantial benefits from the architectural improvements to the house and to the conservation area. The Council did not agree with this, but we pursued the case and the Inspector concurred with our reasoning and allowed the appeal. Client: private householder |
