Extension to house in conservation area, Belgravia

4/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
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.

Works to commence planning permission, London

14/11/2019

Picture
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.

Appeal for painting of house, London

1/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
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.

Appeal to regularise works at house, Twickenham, Surrey

21/8/2019

Picture
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.

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.

Picture
We secured a Certificate of Lawfulness to confirm the division of a property into two dwelling in a Surrey planning authority, where otherwise the client would have been faced with difficulties continuing to live in their house. The application was prepared with a comprehensive collection of supporting evidence and covered all possible aspects that might be questioned by the Council. Approval was achieved under delegated powers within the 8 weeks.

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.

Appeal for rear extension, Hampstead

15/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
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.

Internal works to listed building, Belgravia

14/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
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.
