 Planning permission has been granted for a small studio space close to the centre of Hampstead village. A pre-application submission had been made by our client which raised a number of tricky issues on this tight site, and our client then came to us to advise on how to address the matters and negotiate with the planning officers. We assisted in the formal planning application and, in advising and answering all the issues, we achieved permission under delegated powers.
Client: private landowner  We advised clients on the potential to refurbish and extend a very run-down building in Belgravia, London, to secure new uses and the long-term future. It is good to see the project nearing completion and a mixed retail and residential scheme coming into use.
Client: Grosevnor Estate  It was good to see a completed project when on a recent visit to London. We provided advice to the Grosvenor Estate regarding the reuse of a post-War building designed for residential and bank use, by the Ronald Ward Partnership. The bank had closed down leaving a large space in a key corner frontage, adjoining listed buildings and in a conservation area. We assisted in the plans for the building and it is now back to active use.
Client: Grosvenor Estate  We have obtained planning permission for a warehouse building near Heathrow Airport, on a site adjoining the Green Belt. Planning permission had been granted on the land in the past and development commenced in order to keep that permission 'alive'. Our clients wished to see changes to the building to increase the attractiveness to the modern market, so we pursued an application for amendments to the scheme and the extensive planning conditions and legal agreement. Permission was granted under delegated powers.
Client: private developer  Our clients own a commercial building that was built as part of a mixed use development with a planning condition restricting the occupancy to very limited community and healthcare uses. This was restricting the potential letting of the building. We prepared a case to widen the Use Classes that could occupy the premises, in order to improve the chances for finding a new commercial occupier. The application was approved under delegated powers.
Client: private pension fund  Our clients own a vacant parcel of land near Heathrow in unproductive use. We made a planning application for the temporary storage use, with access to the main road, which the Council decided to refuse permission. We lodged an appeal against this unreasonable refusal and secured permission for the use as open storage.
Client: private landowner  Planning permission has been granted for the installation of new condenser units at a mixed commercial and residential property in a busy area of Chelsea. The property, and location of the units, is close to residential premises and are crucial to the operation of a ground floor commercial unit. We achieved permission after demonstrating no harm to amenity from noise, vibration or visual intrusion, or harm to the conservation area.
Client: commercial client  We have obtained planning permission for a large new open storage facility on the edge of Reading, close to the M4 and A329(M) junction. The site was formerly a Park & Ride facility but has lain vacant for many years due to lying in a flood plain. Following pre-application discussions with the local authority, we coordinated a team of consultants to prepare a planning application for storage use of the land. The major application was approved by the Planning Committee, with support from local Councillors who recognised the benefits of using the land and bringing jobs to the area.
Client: Hocsholl Properties Ltd  We have secured planning permission and listed building consent for works to the interior and exterior of a mixed retail and office building in the Belgravia Conservation Area, London. The works will see alterations to the original floorplan of the building to create more viable office space, improved retail space on the ground and lower ground floor, and a new shopfront. The installation of air conditioning in a sensitive fashion was also agreed.
