Permission in Principle obtained for two new dwellings in Shinfield

Cameron Jones Planning secured a PIP for our client for two three bedroom dwellings on a vacant parcel of land adjacent to an existing dwelling on Ilbury Close. The site historically accommodated a side extension and garage associated with the host dwelling. The Local Planning Authority considered that any adverse impacts of the proposal would not significantly outweigh the benefits. With regards to Wokingham Borough Council’s poor housing land supply position, the sustainable location of the site and the absence of any overriding constraints, the tilted balance weighed in favour of the proposal.

We are now working on the full planning permission (in the form of Technical Details Consent) which will be submitted to Wokingham Borough Council in October.

Our client wished to regularise the existing residential use of this building, the previously approved used being as a children’s day nursery with ancillary residential accommodation above. We were able to submit evidence to demonstrate that the site has been in use continuously as a self contained residential dwelling (Use Class C3) since at least 8 February 2012. The evidence comprised layout drawings, receipts, insurance policies, AST agreements, and statutory declarations which cumulatively demonstrated the ground floor unit to be a self-contained residential unit for the duration claimed.

Appeal success – hip to gable and two dormer roof extensions

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames refused planning permission for a loft conversion comprising a hip-to-gable extension, two rear dormers, and three rooflights claiming they would be bulky and incongruous additions to the existing roofscape causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area.

Cameron Jones Planning worked with the architect and homeowner to prepare a statement of case for the Planning Inspectorate. The Inspector agreed with our argument, concluding the scheme would not be out of place in the streetscene and not have a detrimental impact on the home. The appeal was allowed and planning permission granted..

Permission granted – garage conversion at a BTM in Kew Green Conservation Area

Building of Townscape Merit (BTM) – We prepared a Planning and Heritage Statement to successfully secure planning permission for a garage conversion with roof lights, and the replacement of the front and rear windows in the main home. The Council’s Urban Design Officer objected to the window replacement and the conversion of the garage. The Planning Officer agreed with our statement that, when viewed in the context of the neighbouring additions, the proposed development and changes to the fenestration would not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding conservation area.

Planning application reference PA26/0229.

Appeal Success – additional storey to three storey block of flats

Runnymede Borough Council refused a Prior Approval application under Class A of Part 20 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO. The scheme for a fourth floor to an existing three storey block of flats in the centre of Englefield Green, Surrey would provide an additional two flats. The Council refused to grant prior approval due to the external appearance of the building.

The Planning Inspector agreed with our Appeal Statement, stating “The development would … have a limited effect on character and appearance, and its contribution to the local area would remain positive”.

Planning Application reference RU.25/0884, appeal reference 6002534.

Appeal success – upward extension to an existing three storey detached block of flats

Runnymede Borough Council refused permission for an additional floor containing two. flats to an existing three storey detached block of flats in Englefield Green. The Council refused to grant prior approval against Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Their decision was based on the external appearance of the building.

Cameron Jones Planning produced a comprehensive appeal statement and submitted the appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. The Inspector agreed with our case that the increase in height and proportion would appear relatively modest compared to the existing building. The proposal would maintain the building’s existing architectural style, reflecting closely the red brick materials and large window patterns. The building already holds a prominent position within Englefield Green. This established presence means that the change would read as a natural evolution of its form rather than a sudden or intrusive alteration.
