Appeal Win – Conversion of Grade II property from flats to single dwelling

09/04/2025 / Kingston Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

After a protracted planning process, the Planning Inspectorate agreed with our case and allowed our appeal. Planning permission with listed building consent was granted for the return of a Grade II listed Georgian building from flats into one single family dwelling house. The refurbishment included the removal of out of character items and replacing with original/Georgian style items, fenestration, and the installation of solar panels. The Inspector concluded that the benefits of the proposal would outweigh the loss of housing stock.

Appeal Win – Dormer Extension in Hampton Hill

07/11/2024 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

Cameron Jones Planning were successful in gaining planning permission by appeal for the enlargement of an existing dormer for a semi-detached chalet bungalow. The Council refused the application on the basis of the dormer being overly dominant, visually intrusive, and unsympathetic to the character of the area. Our appeal statement argued recent similar approvals in the area. The Planning Inspector concluded that the appeal proposal would not have unacceptable adverse effects on the character and appearance of the host property or the locality.

Approval for extensions to Bungalow in Whitton

29/10/2024 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Application

We provided a full planning service for this development of a small bungalow in Whitton. At the initial consultation stage we advised the architect on potential schemes that would be acceptable, paying particular regard to design and the impact on neighbour amenity. The planning statement accompanying the submission addressed national and local planning policies and Richmond’s supplementary planning documents and included a BRE impact on sunlight / daylight analysis for the neighbouring dwelling.

Appeal Win – Extensions to detached dwelling in Hampton

08/08/2024 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

Appeal allowed and planning permission gained for a two-storey side extension, single storey rear extension, the conversion of the existing garage to a habitable room, a loft conversion to a habitable room and two rear dormer extensions at this detached dwelling in Hampton.

We managed all planning elements of an initial successful application for the two-storey side extension, dormer extensions and garage conversion. A subsequent application for the rear extension was refused by the Local Planning Authority. We took this to appeal arguing the high standard of design, lack of neighbour impact and compliance with policy. The Planning Inspector agreed with our case and awarded planning permission.

Appeal Win – Successful appeal against an enforcement notice alleging breach of permitted use

12/07/2024 / Brent / Planning Appeal

Cameron Jones Planning worked closely with the client and the barrister to prepare the appeal statement against the enforcement notice served by the Council of the London Borough of Brent. The Council alleged the breach of planning control as being the site’s existing mixed business and residential use for which permission has not been granted.

We represented the client at the Inquiry and were able to demonstrate to the Planning Inspector that the use does not effect the character and appearance of the area nor impact on the amenity of neighbouring occupiers.

Planning permission was granted under ground (a) and the enforcement notice was quashed.

The Planning Officer agreed with us that the scheme would not compromise the character of the area, nor neighbour amenity. The Highway Officer was happy there would be no impact on highway safety. The scheme was allowed.

Appeal Win – Student Accommodation in Exeter

13/05/2024 / Exeter City Council / Planning Appeal

Cameron Jones Planning gained permission at planning appeal against Exeter City Council for the demolition of a garage workshop and the construction of four 3-storey (plus basement) purpose-built student accommodation units, numbering 26 bedrooms in total.

We worked with our client from pre-application, through application, to appeal, instructing and coordinating all relevant consultants and design negotiation. The LPA argued an over concentration of PBSA in the area which we counter-argued had no basis in the Development Plan. The Planning Inspector agreed with our case.

Fiona helped us to get full approval for plans to carry out an extensive refurb of our conservation-area property, which included front, rear and side extensions. We appointed Fiona on the recommendation of our architect, after we received advice at pre-planning stage that permission would not be granted on a number of grounds. Fiona provided extremely efficient support, advising us (time poor and completely new to the planning process) on the risks and merits of different approaches to our appeal - low versus higher risk design options. She drafted a compelling appeal statement, that successfully addressed all grounds for refusal at pre-planning and planning stages. Thank you Fiona!

Cameron Jones Planning were very responsive, professional and value for money. Fiona and Kevin Jones worked seamlessly together, covering for each other as necessary. They took time to understand our wishes and sought proactive solutions where others had defaulted to easier, and unsuccessful, approaches. They also brought in other disciplines as required (legal and architects) to ensure our application withstood scrutiny from all angles. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Highly recommend Fiona - she worked on our successful planning application to Richmond council. She always responds quickly and was able to get access to documents not available online that we needed to support our application. Would use her services again

Fiona at Cameron Jones Planning managed to turn, what appeared to be, a hopeless situation into something we could work with. Her diligence and tenacity have given us the opportunity to see the original plans for the project take shape. Fiona works across a number of projects for us, she is always clear about what she feels is achievable and what is not. I value her services greatly and have no hesitation in recommending Cameron Jones Planning.

We would highly recommend Fiona and her team. We were apprehensive as to where to start with our particular planning problem but from the beginning Fiona offered us straight forward easy to follow advice. The fee that was discussed at the beginning was clear and transparent so we knew at each stage what the cost was going to be. She submitted the application on our behalf after careful consideration of the best way forward and we are happy to say we had a positive conclusion without any hitches at all.

Fiona at Cameron Jones Planning was excellent. We had a really tricky case - an old building, a non designated heritage asset- she worked skilfully and efficiently with the council and through an appeals process. She was so clear with us so we knew what was going on all the time. We truly felt in capable (and the best) hands. We are thrilled to now have planning when there were times it seemed like we may not ever get it! Massive thanks Fiona

Cameron Jones recently supported us with our planning application after our first was refused. Fiona submitted a 20 page document including our revised plans, photos and detailed information around the planning policies. Throughout the process Fiona was in correspondence with the planning department and us, guiding and advising where necessary. Our plans have now been granted but we feel Cameron Jones knowledge and expertise in their business helped immensely to the plans being permitted. A Highly experienced and professional team, thank you!
