 In one of the most attractive streets in the Holland Park area, a client wished to have rear and side extensions to their house. There had been a recently dismissed appeal close by for a similar form of development and the Council told our client's architect that there was no chance at all.
We were engaged by the architect to advise on the best strategy for a formal submission. We made a case based on detailed research and policy analysis. The inevitable refusal by RBKC was followed by an appeal, where the Inspector agreed with our appraisal that the extensions would be suited to the property and conservation area, and there was no conflict with the other appeal. Client: private householder

 Permission has been granted for substantial extensions at the rear of a house near Notting Hill, London. The Council had objected to the full-height of the extensions, their full width across the house and also the new mansard. We argued at appeal that the Council were incorrectly applying their policies, and the Inspector agreed with our case, though retained an objection to effect on one neighbouring window. We resubmitted with an amended scheme and, despite continued opposition from many neighbours, reassured the Planning Officers and the Committee that permission could be granted, and approval was given at the local level
Client: private householder  Permission has been granted at appeal for an additional storey on top of an existing residential building, with no obligation to provide affordable housing.
The case concerned the former headquarters of the WWF, called Panda House, where conversion into flats had already occurred under the Government's permitted development rights. The owner then wished to extend the building by an additional floor to provide further flats. The Council considered this would trigger a requirement for affordable housing, but it was demonstrated at appeal that this would not be viable. Other concerns of the Council and Environment Agency were also addressed at appeal, and planning permission granted. Client: G&O Properties |
