New nursery in listed building, London

23/9/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Planning permission and listed building consent has been granted for the use of a listed building as a children's day nursery, with internal and external alterations to the building as part of the change. The building had been vacant and in need of a new use for some time, but a previous application had been resisted by the local planning authority. We were brought in to advise and prepared a revised submission, which received support through the pre-application process and was then approved under delegated powers.

Planning permission has been granted for a small studio space close to the centre of Hampstead village. A pre-application submission had been made by our client which raised a number of tricky issues on this tight site, and our client then came to us to advise on how to address the matters and negotiate with the planning officers. We assisted in the formal planning application and, in advising and answering all the issues, we achieved permission under delegated powers.

We advised clients on the potential to refurbish and extend a very run-down building in Belgravia, London, to secure new uses and the long-term future. It is good to see the project nearing completion and a mixed retail and residential scheme coming into use.

We were asked to provide advice on town planning and heritage matters relating to extensive works at a country estate in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire. The estate comprises a main house and a complex of various buildings for staff and other uses, as well as associated land. It had been newly purchased and the owner wanted to refurbish, modernise and extend various buildings. In consultation with the project architect and professional team, we provided advice and reports on the works. Listed building consent was granted by the Council under delegated powers.

A number of years ago we were involved in securing listed building consent and planning permission for extensive works to a building adjoining the famous Pillars of Hercules pub in Soho. A recent visit to the area saw the project finished and now occupied as a house, with a discreet mansard and roof terrace on top.

Works to listed building, Twickenham

Picture
We have been providing advice to many of our clients for years, and not only developers and professionals but also families. One such long-standing client lives in Twickenham and we have helped them with planning matters for around 15 years. We were pleased with our latest success in establishing the use of their large listed property by the Thames as two dwellings, and to undertake changes to the building internally and externally that will enable the property to adapt to their family needs. This followed extensive pre-application discussions with the Council and a successful formal application, which was carried out during Covid restrictions on access to buildings and availability of planning officers.

Alterations to listed house, London

8/11/2021

Picture
A small project, but potentially tricky due to a long planning history of refusals. A client wished to cover a rear courtyard area to a large listed house in Belgravia. This had been the subject of a dismissed appeal in the past. We presented a new scheme with suitable arguments to explain the changes, and listed building consent was granted by the Council.
