 We were approached by a private boarding school who had a need for staff accommodation on their land. The needs of the boarders mean that constant supervision is needed, but being in an area of expensive housing, and set within the Green Belt, led to a serious problem for the school. A previous planning application for accommodation had been refused. We provided a robust submission that demonstrated there were the necessary very special circumstances needed to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, with the case raising issues of the legal rights of the children in the care of the school.
Client: Sunningdale School

 The use of land and buildings in the Green Belt for equestrian and livery purposes was questioned by the local planning authority. We were asked to prepare a Certificate of Lawfulness application, and the evidence we gathered and presented demonstrated the lawful situation. The business owner could then continue his activities.
Client: commercial client  An outbuilding had been built following the grant of permission, with various complex conditions that restricted the future use. The householder wished to make changes to the building and then provide additional annex accommodation for a family member. We presented the case to show how the building could be adapted, without conflicting with local policies.
Client: private householder  We have obtained planning permission for the creation of a new off-street parking area to a house in North Kensington. The site lies in a conservation area with on-street parking, and the Council objected to the scheme. We proved at appeal there would not be any harm to parking in the area, and no harm to the area.
