 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.

 We were given a copy of this new book, produced by the renowned architect James Gorst, which showcases his work over recent years. We have worked with James and his company for many years, particularly on sensitive conservation and listed building projects. The book is full of fantastic houses and architecture.
 Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for the change of use of a redundant church in the Surrey countryside to five flats. The church, which lies in the Green Belt, had been vacant for many years but retained original features. We presented a case for the conversion to flats, with information relating to the historic interest of the building, impact on bats in the church and how the graveyard around the church would be retained. Permission was granted by the local authority.
Client: private developer  Work has recently been completed on a project for the restoration and extension of a Grade II listed manor in a Cotswold village. The scheme saw renovation of the family house and its grounds, a rear conservatory and a contemporary extension within the former stable yards. The scheme was completed with Studio Indigo, and more details can be seen here.
Client: Private householder Photo credit: Luke White Photography  We were pleased to see a project that we were involved in featured in the Grosvenor Estate's London Development Yearbook for 2018. The property was a former mews in Mayfair, with garaging still on the ground floor. The works saw refurbishment of this listed building and changes for the continued residential use above. We provided advice for these changes as part of the multi-disciplinary team.
Client: Grosvenor Estates London  Another project from a few years ago that is now complete - this time the conversion of a listed building in Mayfair to a new retail unit on the ground floor. We were again involved in research into the history of the building and presenting the case for modifications to the historic fabric in order to provide a new retail unit. The shop is now open in the new space.
Client: Grosvenor Estates  A few years ago we helped with securing planning permission and listed building consent to convert a former mews house into an art gallery. The case involved research into the history of the property and explaining how the new use would benefit the area and the building itself. We were pleased to recently see the art gallery successfully operating from the building.
Client: Grosvenor Estates  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.
Client: private householder  Listed building consent has been granted for works to a flat on Mount Street, Mayfair, London. We undertook a heritage appraisal of this George and Peto building which had been modified in parts, but still kept much of its interior. We provided advice to the client and architect, and discussions with the conservation officer saw approval within 8 weeks.
Client: private householder  We were pleased to see a past project we were involved in appear on the cover of Grangewood's Estates Report. Their refurbishment of the listed St Mark's church stands next to a conversion of a listed townhouse, where we provided heritage and town planning advice for the Grosvenor Estate. The buildings set off each other very well, and are a great improvement to the conservation area.
