 Planning permission has been granted for the retention of three dwellings in the Green Belt, in Surrey. The client had converted three buildings to separate houses and enforcement investigations had commenced. We advised in relation to the lawfulness of the case, and then prepared a planning application to argue why permission should be granted for the retention of the dwellings. This was approved by the Planning Committee.

 After a long period of negotiation with the Council and a previous appeal, planning permission has been granted for a new house on a tight infill site in Teddington, south west London. The Council were concerned with design, effect on neighbours, parking, trees and access to the site, as well as seeking various legal agreements for the site. We considered some of the requests unreasonable and, after much work, secured a permission that was in better terms than the Council had initially sought.
Client: private developer  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  Planning permission has been granted for the creation of two flats at premises above an existing commercial use in central Hampton, near the River Thames. There were issues of access, flooding and affordable housing in the case following a previous application submitted by an architect that had been refused, and we successfully negotiated to secure a permission from the local planning authority.
Client: commercial client  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 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  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.
Client: private householder  After a long battle with the planning department, we eventually obtained planning permission for a small development of residential and retail. The site is next to the railway station in Chertsey and there were issues of noise, vibration, design and scale. The development has recently been completed and the ground floor retail unit opened as Longmans Traditional Sweets - an old fashioned sweet and ice cream shop, which is very popular with the locals.
Client: Longman Developments  We were pleased to attend the opening party for a new development of houses near Bagshot, Surrey. We obtained planning permission for this brownfield redevelopment scheme in the Green Belt, where there were many issues to overcome in order to gain permission under delegated powers.
