Permitted Development – 7 metres wide rear extension in Green Belt

23/01/2024 / Runnymede / Certificate of Lawfulness

Cameron Jones Planning were able to secure a Certificate of Lawfulness for this large riverside bungalow in Addlestone, Surrey. The dwelling had been subject to multiple historical extensions so determining the original required a lot of detective work. It was over the allowable extension limit under Green Belt policy so a PD compliant scheme was necessary. We demonstrated a scheme that was compliant with Class A of Schedule 2 (Part 1) of the General Permitted Development Order.

Permitted development for two-storey extension to Thames-side dwelling

08/01/2024 / Runnymede / Certificate of Lawfulness

A complicated scheme for a previously extended dwelling in the Green Belt near Egham. The dwelling was already over the allowable extension limit under Green Belt policy so a PD compliant scheme was necessary. We worked closely with the architect to develop a two-storey rear extension that would be compliant with Class A of Schedule 2 (Part 1) of the General Permitted Development Order. The Local Planning Authority granted the Certificate of Lawfulness.

30/12/2023 / Runnymede / Planning Application

Appeal success – reinstatement of Permitted Development rights

28/12/2023 / Surrey Heath / Planning Appeal

Cameron Jones Planning devised the appeal case against the refusal of Surrey Heath Borough Council to reinstate the Permitted Development rights for extensions and outbuildings at this large dwelling in the Green Belt. The rights had been removed as a condition of an application in 2007. The reinstatement application was refused on the grounds that allowing Permitted Development extensions would harm the character and visual amenity of the surrounding area. We argued that there was no clear justification for this condition, therefore failing the test of necessity and reasonableness. The Planning Inspector agreed with our argument and reinstated the rights. Our client is now able to build the detached garage in the grounds of their home.

Approval – Single Storey Rear Extension

02/11/2023 / South Downs National Park / Planning Application

A seemingly simple rear infill extension to a terraced Victorian dwelling in Midhurst, West Sussex was complicated by the discovery of a roosting Myotis bat. We worked closely with the Ecology Consultant on two surveys and updated the application with necessary mitigation measures. Following a lengthy decision process, we were able to secure approval for our client.

Permission granted for large rear extension in Ascot

27/10/2023 / Windsor and Maidenhead / Planning Application

Our client approached Cameron Jones Planning following a previous refusal by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead for a single storey rear extension at this detached dwelling in South Ascot.

Very special circumstances for house extension in the Green Belt

16/10/2023 / Runnymede / Planning Application

Clients came to Cameron Jones Planning following refusal of a previous applications for extensions to the front and roof of this dwelling overlooking the River Thames, within the Green Belt. The proposal was deemed to be disproportionate and would impact on the openness of the Green Belt. We submitted a new application with revised floor area calculations that included the loft space and adjunct outbuilding as part of the original dwelling size. Although the proposed scheme was still over the allowable Green Belt size increase, as dictated by Runnymede Borough Council’s planning policy, it would be smaller in footprint than the existing dwelling. We argued that the scheme would be less harmful to the Green Belt than the current situation. The Planning Officer accepted this argument and allowed the application under very special circumstances.

Approval for dormer roof extension in Putney Conservation Area

13/10/2023 / Wandsworth / Planning Application

Cameron Jones Planning worked on two planning applications to extend the roof space at this three-storey mid terrace dwelling in the Charlwood Conservation Area. The initial application for a hip-to-gable roof extension (2023/2812) was refused at appeal, deemed an incongruous addition that would harm the conservation area. We were successful with the second application (2023/2812) which proposed the replacement of the side dormer and enlargement of an existing rear dormer. The Planning Officer considered the proposal to preserve the special character of the conservation area.

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!
