 Planning permission has been granted for the creation of two flats at premises above an existing commercial use in central Hampton, near the River Thames. There were issues of access, flooding and affordable housing in the case following a previous application submitted by an architect that had been refused, and we successfully negotiated to secure a permission from the local planning authority.

 We were pleased to see a project that we were involved in featured in the Grosvenor Estate's London Development Yearbook for 2018. The property was a former mews in Mayfair, with garaging still on the ground floor. The works saw refurbishment of this listed building and changes for the continued residential use above. We provided advice for these changes as part of the multi-disciplinary team.
Client: Grosvenor Estates London  As a follow-up from the last posting.... Longman's sweet shop was the sponsor for Chertsey Town FC in the FA Vase final. And on Sunday they won in Wembley! Here they are, celebrating with their 'Longmans Traditional Sweet Shop' shirts.
Well done Chertsey, and if you want some sweets and ice cream then head off to Longmans!  Another project from a few years ago that is now complete - this time the conversion of a listed building in Mayfair to a new retail unit on the ground floor. We were again involved in research into the history of the building and presenting the case for modifications to the historic fabric in order to provide a new retail unit. The shop is now open in the new space.
Client: Grosvenor Estates  A few years ago we helped with securing planning permission and listed building consent to convert a former mews house into an art gallery. The case involved research into the history of the property and explaining how the new use would benefit the area and the building itself. We were pleased to recently see the art gallery successfully operating from the building.
Client: Grosvenor Estates  We were pleased to see a past project we were involved in appear on the cover of Grangewood's Estates Report. Their refurbishment of the listed St Mark's church stands next to a conversion of a listed townhouse, where we provided heritage and town planning advice for the Grosvenor Estate. The buildings set off each other very well, and are a great improvement to the conservation area.
Client: Grosvenor Estates  We assisted a wider professional team in drawing up proposals for works to a listed gallery, close to Mount Street in the heart of Mayfair. The property had a number of uses over the years, including a car showroom, offices, storage and the art gallery. We undertook research and prepared a Statement to examine the proposed changes to the heritage asset. Planning permission and listed building consent were granted under delegated powers.
Client: Grosvenor Estates  Permission has been granted for a replacement shopfront to a property in a conservation area, in central London. The work will see an enhancement to the appearance of what was a rather tired looking building.
Client: private landlord  We provided advice regarding the conversion of a dilapidated commercial building just off Oxford Street. Our advice looked at the heritage issues for the works to the building, and the change to a mix of commercial and residential uses. The work is now complete, and the ground floor occupied by The New Craftsmen gallery and shop.
Client: Grosvenor Estate  We continue our long-standing work with the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, one of the top polo clubs in the country. Permission has been granted for a new pavilion on their No. 1 pitch to enable guests and members to watch matches and for hospitality events. A new access road will serve the pavilion, crossing fields and close to trees in this Green Belt location.
