 Planning permission was refused for a side extension to a detached house in the Green Belt, near Windsor. The application had been prepared with detailed analysis of Green Belt policy and case law, and so the refusal of permission was felt to be unreasonable. We made an appeal, and the Inspector agreed with our interpretation of these matters. Permission was granted, and full costs awarded against the Council.
The case raised some important points of planning law and was reported in the planning press. Client: private householder

 An outbuilding had been built following the grant of permission, with various complex conditions that restricted the future use. The householder wished to make changes to the building and then provide additional annex accommodation for a family member. We presented the case to show how the building could be adapted, without conflicting with local policies.
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  After discussions with the local planning authority, and the input from many specialists, a new basement has been granted planning permission in Kensington & Chelsea. The application was approved under delegated powers, without a single objection from neighbours.
Client: private householder  Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for internal and external works to a Grade II listed building, which forms part of the planned estate around Wilton Crescent and northern Belgravia. The renovation of the house will also see a roof terrace to the main house. We advised on the proposed works, in consultation with a wider professional team.
Client: private householder  After a couple of planning applications and pre-planning applications, permission has eventually been granted for extensive works at the rear, basement and garden of a terraced house in Belgravia, London. The client wished to extend the house for his growing family, but the Council's restrictions on works in this part of London were very strong. After much persuasion we managed to secure a scheme for a two storey addition to the rear, a lowered garden, and a new taller closet wing extension.
Client: private householder  An appeal has been allowed to grant planning permission for a rear extension to a semi-detached house in Surrey. The client had submitted a scheme before our involvement, which had been refused permission on the grounds of design and harm to the neighbours. We advised in relation to a modified design to address design issues, but anticipated the amenity issue may remain. Following the refusal on amenity grounds we took the case to appeal and successfully argued that there would be no harm to the nearest residents. Planning permission was granted by the Inspector.
Client: private householder  An appeal has been allowed for re-modelling and extension at the back of a terrace house in Chiswick, London. The Council had refused permission due to the scale of the extension, the design and the effect on neighbours. We made the case that the extension would be suitable for the house and there would not be any harm to light or outlook. The appeal was allowed, and the clients now have a much larger extension than the Council would have permitted.
Client: private householder  Listed building consent and planning permission have been granted for internal works to a large, laterally converted flat at a terrace of housing in Belgravia. The scheme also includes new plant and upgraded servicing for the property, including air conditioning apparatus on the roof. We were involved in presenting the case to the local planning authority and undertaking the necessary negotiations.
Client: private householder  We have recently assisted in securing a Certificate of Lawfulness to confirm the implementation of a double basement in Kensington & Chelsea. We secured planning permission for the large extension 3 years ago at appeal - one of the last of the famous 'super basements' granted in the Borough - and the client knew that a renewal of permission would not be possible. Careful advice was needed to ensure that the permission commenced lawfully, and so ensure the valuable permission did not lapse.
