 Planning permission has been granted on appeal for a rear extension to a detached house in the Green Belt. The house had been extended a number of times before and the total floorspace increase exceeded the Council's guidelines for 'disproportionate additions' to houses, and there was a simple refusal by the planners. However, we demonstrated to the Inspector that a proper reading of the Policy can allow for further changes to the house. The Inspector agreed and permission was granted.

 We returned to an old project of ours from many years ago: a replacement house in the Green Belt. This time it was for further extensions to the property for a new owner. We demonstrated to the local planning authority that an increase in footprint was compliant with the national and local policy guidance.
Client: private householder  We have recently achieved full planning permission for a new detached house on a greenfield site within the Green Belt. Tight restrictions exist for any new buildings in the Green Belt, and securing a new house on an undeveloped site is always difficult. We demonstrated that the proposal would accord with all aspects of Green Belt policy, and other relevant matters, and the application was approved under delegated powers.
Client: private client  A quirk in planning policy means that erecting outbuildings to dwellings in the Green Belt can often be difficult. This case was made even more difficult by a planning condition attached to a new housing development that specifically removed permitted development rights. The Council had refused permission for our client's new home office building at the end of their garden. We put the case in what was a surprisingly complex appeal, given the small scale, and the appeal was allowed with the Inspector accepting our interpretation of Green Belt policy rather than the Council's case.
Client: private householder  Planning permission was obtained some years ago for the replacement of an existing house in the Green Belt for a larger property. We advised the landowner regarding a series of amendments to that permission which obtained a larger house, including a basement and sunken patio area. This can be a difficult area of planning policy due to previous case law on what is allowed in Green Belt replacement schemes: court cases that we have been involved in over many years. Our advice led to planning permission for the scheme in this new case being granted under delegated powers.
Client: private developer  We were recently involved in regularising a breach of planning control at a property in the Green Belt. Planning permission had been granted for a replacement house with a planning condition removing permitted development rights. However, an extension had been built at the property. We managed to achieve a Certificate of Lawfulness that secures the permanent retention of that extension.
Client: private householder  A project where we got planning permission some time ago, and now built-out and occupied. The redevelopment of a brownfield site within the Green Belt, south of Windsor. The coverage of housing and scale of development - and design in the streetscene - were all issues, along with highways too. We negotiated a successful permission for the client.
Client: Jordan Construction  A couple of months ago we obtained planning permission for a new house on undeveloped, open land in the Green Belt. Another success for a similar scheme, this time on appeal. The client had a large garden, with the restrictions of Green Belt and protected trees. The Council refused permission but we argued at appeal how the erection of a new house on this land is consistent with planning policy: a complex area of planning policy and precedent.
Client: private householder  We have obtained planning permission for a large detached house on an undeveloped parcel of land in the Green Belt, in a Berkshire village. The application raised a discussion as to whether the type of development was consistent with local and national planning Green Belt policy, and the site also was subject to ecological and drainage issues. We negotiated a permission that was approved under delegated powers by the Planning Officer, with no objections from neighbours.
Client: private landowner  Planning permission has been granted for the retention of three dwellings in the Green Belt, in Surrey. The client had converted three buildings to separate houses and enforcement investigations had commenced. We advised in relation to the lawfulness of the case, and then prepared a planning application to argue why permission should be granted for the retention of the dwellings. This was approved by the Planning Committee.
