 Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for a series of complex applications that saw modification to past permissions, new internal and external works, extensions, alterations and new air conditioning apparatus at a Grade II listed house in the Belgravia Conservation Area, London. We coordinated the team of consultants and prepared evidence on historic building matters, with the applications approved under delegated powers in the 8 weeks even through the current coronavirus outbreak.

 Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for alterations, extensions, basement and a new mews house to a Grade I listed family house in Fitzroy Square, London. This has been a long-running project for us with a series of complex applications and appeals, with the latest scheme a further change to meet the clients' wishes for a new family house.
Client: private householder  Planning permission has been granted for extensions and alterations to a terrace house in central Belgravia, London. The property lies within a conservation area and close to listed buildings, where space is very constrained and many residents overlook and adjoin each other. Pre-application consultation led to a scheme that was approved under delegated powers within the 8 weeks.
Client: private householder  We obtained planning permission for a large rear extension and mansard addition, the height and width of the house, to a substantial semi-detached villa in the Notting Hill area of London. Having fought a long battle for this permission, the client wished to implement the permission before it expired. We were involved in advising on a Certificate of Lawfulness to establish that sufficient works had been undertaken within the relevant time period, and the Certificate was granted by the Council to confirm that development can proceed in the future.
Client: private householder  A client had painted their stucco house in St John's Wood a delicate shade of pink. This offended the Council who refused permission, and an appeal was lodged. We demonstrated to the Inspector that the Council's policies for this conservation area allowed householders flexibility to choose how they painted their houses. The appeal was allowed and our client can keep their pink house.
Client: private householder  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.
Client: commercial client  A long-running case has at last been resolved with a successful appeal against a refusal of permission by Richmond Borough Council. We had obtained planning permission for works to a property in a development of distinctive housing fronting the Thames, and had also won an appeal for works to other properties in the estate. There had been differences during the construction of the scheme and the Council decided to take action. We presented the case that the alterations to the buildings were not harmful to the setting of the Thames or the conservation area.
Client: private client  Another project recently completed with Studio Indigo is this refurbished and extended large country house, overlooking Wimbledon Common. The house was in a poor state of repair on a sensitive site within the conservation area. The client wished to see a large extension, including swimming pool, and we negotiated the planning permission for extensive changes to the building. More can be seen here.
Client: Private householder Photo credit: Luke White Photography  Work has recently been completed on a project for the restoration and extension of a Grade II listed manor in a Cotswold village. The scheme saw renovation of the family house and its grounds, a rear conservatory and a contemporary extension within the former stable yards. The scheme was completed with Studio Indigo, and more details can be seen here.
Client: Private householder Photo credit: Luke White Photography  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.
