 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.

 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 have obtained planning permission at Committee for extensive works to a terraced house within a conservation area, off the Kings Road, Chelsea. The scheme will see re-modelling of the house, raising of the rear closet wing, alterations to the roof and lowering of the ground floor. This comprehensive scheme involved discussions with the planning officers and preparation of extensive information to demonstrate no harm to the area or to neighbours.
Client: private householder  Planning permission has been granted at appeal for a high-level rear extension to an apartment, close to Hampstead town centre, North London. There had been two pre-application submissions to the Council both of which were negative. The formal planning application was then refused, with objections from the local Conservation Area Committee. However, along with the client and the architect, we thought there was a good case to be made at appeal. We submitted the appeal with strong evidence and it was allowed.
Client: private householder  Listed building consent has been granted for works to the interior of a large property near Chesham Place, London. The property had been altered at the end of the 20th Century and the new owner wanted to undertake further changes, and reverse some of the unsympathetic interventions. We were involved in a multi-disciplinary team and provided evidence relating to heritage matters to secure the necessary consent.
Client: private householder  Listed building consent has been granted for works to a flat on Mount Street, Mayfair, London. We undertook a heritage appraisal of this George and Peto building which had been modified in parts, but still kept much of its interior. We provided advice to the client and architect, and discussions with the conservation officer saw approval within 8 weeks.
Client: private householder  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  A Certificate of Lawfulness has been granted for extensive changes and a contemporary addition to a house within a conservation area in East London. This architect-designed scheme was anticipated to be contentious for the site due to contemporary elements, but we proved that the design was permitted development, and objections from the Council were rebutted.
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.
Client: private householder  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.
