We were excited to be on site recently to help with last issues concerning the erection of a new house in the countryside in Berkshire. We have been involved in this project over many years and secured various permissions through applications, certificates of lawfulness and appeals. The work is nearing completion for this striking modern house, to be a family home for our long-standing clients.

We're pleased to report that both our recent books on How to Object to a planning application or appeal, and How to Appeal against a refusal of planning permission reached the top 50 bestseller lists in 'Law for the Layperson' on Amazon. They are selling well, and provide a great guide for being involved in the planning system. See more at www.town-planning-know-how.co.uk
Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for alterations, extensions, basement and a new mews house to a Grade I listed family house in Fitzroy Square, London. This has been a long-running project for us with a series of complex applications and appeals, with the latest scheme a further change to meet the clients' wishes for a new family house.
Client: private householder 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.
Client: private householder 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.
Client: private householder 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.
Client: private householder 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.
Client: private client 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.

Client: Private householder Photo credit: Luke White Photography 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.
