 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.
Client: private landowner  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.
Client: Grosevnor Estate  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.
Client: private householder  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.
Client: private developer  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.
Client: private householder  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.
Client: private householder  We continue our long association with work for private householders in Belgravia and Mayfair with a recent permission for works to a listed house in Chester Square, London. Extensions and alterations at the rear of the property, and internal alterations within the house, were approved under delegated powers by Westminster City Council.
Client: private householder  The design and housing think tank, Create Streets, has recently published a document that seeks to encourage additional storeys to existing houses in cities, with a call for more mansard roofs. This was widely reported in The Times. the Report includes a small number of examples to illustrate their objectives, one of which is a past project of our's: an additional mansard storey in Belgravia for our clients, Grosvenor Estate.
 We have secured planning permission and listed building consent for works to the interior and exterior of a mixed retail and office building in the Belgravia Conservation Area, London. The works will see alterations to the original floorplan of the building to create more viable office space, improved retail space on the ground and lower ground floor, and a new shopfront. The installation of air conditioning in a sensitive fashion was also agreed.
