We were contacted by a landowner who was notified of an application for a mobile phone mast on land opposite their land. Our client was concerned with the proximity of the mast and equipment, so we lodged an objection on their behalf. The application was refused by the local planning authority, but an appeal lodged. We made further representations at the appeal stage, and the scheme was dismissed by the Inspector.

After a long-running series of planning applications, applications for Certificate of Lawfulness, enforcement notices and four conjoined appeals heard at an Inquiry, we managed to have enforcement notices quashed for two properties near Ascot where the gardens had extended into Green Belt land. The cases raised complex issues of law and policy, and we were pleased that the patience of our clients held out to get the result they desired.
Client: private householders Planning permission has been granted under delegated powers for the redevelopment of a redundant garage and house on the edge of a village in Berkshire, south of Windsor. The scheme will see detached and semi-detached houses replacing an unattractive and redundant site, and the case involved presenting information relating to past uses and the issue of the Green Belt.
Client: Zion Properties Ltd We were asked by an architect to help advise in relation to a property where there was a long planning history of applications, refusals and appeals. The clients wanted to achieve new ancillary buildings for their house, and better stabling for their equestrian land to replace ageing stables. The Green Belt policy and the past planning history were difficulties for the site. We prepared advice and submitted a planning application, which was approved under delegated powers by the local authority.
Client: private householder Planning permission has been granted by the local planning authority for a site near Ascot, Berkshire, involving the substantial increase in a house within the Green Belt. The house had already been extended well beyond the usual amount allowed by the Local Plan, and a pre-application submission by the owners had given a negative response. We were called in to assist, and our research established a combination of partly-implemented planning permissions and a particular layout to the house that pointed to a case for 'very special circumstances' that overrides Green Belt harm. We prepared a detailed submission, in conjunction with a local architect, and the case for this further increase to the house was proved.
Client: private householder We assisted landowners to object to an application for the installation of a new telecommunications mast on highway land opposite their property. The application was refused by the local planning authority.
Client: MSG Group Planning permission has been granted for a large extension to a house within the Green Belt, near Guildford in Surrey. A pre-application submission from the householder had resisted the key parts of the extension, and so we were engaged to present a case for the client's desired plans. We recommended some alterations to the scheme and then undertook an appraisal of the area and planning policy, with the result that planning permission was granted at local level under delegated powers.
Client: private householder Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of an employment site in Surrey for housing. The site was unneighbourly and harmful to the appearance of the area, but was set in the Green Belt. We demonstrated a case for the new housing, which was allowed under delegated powers.
Client: Shorstan Ltd Planning permission has been granted at appeal for extensions and alterations to a house in the Green Belt and within a conservation area under the rarely-used 'very special circumstances' argument.
The scheme would have seen a further extension to a house that had already been substantially extended over the years. We argued that even though that was the case - and so on the face of it conflicted with national planning policy - there were substantial benefits from the architectural improvements to the house and to the conservation area. The Council did not agree with this, but we pursued the case and the Inspector concurred with our reasoning and allowed the appeal. Client: private householder Planning permission has been granted for the replacement of an existing house in the Green Belt, on the Wentworth Estate, Surrey. The existing house is a smaller building that was in a poor condition for the client. The new house achieves a substantial increase in size and a repositioning on the site to present a more prestigious appearance. The application was approved following negotiation, under delegated powers.
