Remodelling and extensions to country house, Cotswolds

19/1/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
We have obtained planning permission for a dramatic new house in the Cotswold countryside, consisting of renovating a much altered traditional house to create a new family home with extensive additional living accommodation. The property lies in a wooded valley, where there were issues of ecology, landscape, trees and drainage to address. Permission was granted under delegated powers with no objections.

Extension to house in Green Belt, Surrey

5/1/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Planning permission had been refused on appeal for an extension to a house within the Green Belt and conservation area, and the landowner later approached us to explore how to achieve an extension. We appraised the policy situation and established a case could be made that national policy in fact allowed for such an extension, despite the conclusions of the appeal. We liaised with an architect to prepare a new application with careful policy justification for the extension, and the application was approved under delegated powers.

Picture
Planning permission has been granted for an additional storey and part change of use in buildings to the rear of mixed commercial and residential premises in a neighbourhood town centre, outer London. The project raised issues of design, parking, effect on neighbours, lighting for the new dwelling, effect on commercial space, contamination and sustainability. The application was approved under delegated powers.

Enforcement appeal, Kensington, London

3/9/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
A project small in scale, but detailed in complexity. Planning permission had been granted for a large outbuilding to the rear of a substantial house in the Holland Park area of Kensington. Alterations were made during building to improve construction and incorporate sustainability measures, but the resulting building was differen to that approved. Enforcement action followed. The case at appeal concerned not only the differences between the approved and the as-built scheme, but analysis of what controls the Council actually had on the building, as well as the impact on the conservation area and neighbours. The appeal was allowed and the outbuilding can remain.

We were pleased to be involved with the local Scout Group in a planning application to replace their ageing Scout Hut with a new, zero-carbon Hut. We assisted in managing the project which had issues of trees, structural matters, access and relationship with neighbours, which led to the delegated approval.

Certificate of Lawfulness, Marlow, Buckinghamshire

18/4/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
A small project, but complex given the background to the case. We obtained a Certificate of Lawfulness for works to a house in the Green Belt, Buckinghamshire, which followed a series of refused planning applications at the house. The client wished to extend and alter the property and we advised on ways to secure this through the permitted development route, and so avoid the need to apply for planning permission again.

Picture
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.

Commercial building refurbishment, Belgravia, London

Picture
It was good to see a completed project when on a recent visit to London. We provided advice to the Grosvenor Estate regarding the reuse of a post-War building designed for residential and bank use, by the Ronald Ward Partnership. The bank had closed down leaving a large space in a key corner frontage, adjoining listed buildings and in a conservation area. We assisted in the plans for the building and it is now back to active use.
