Lambeth

Cameron Jones Planning successfully advised the client on a planning strategy and provided a planning statement to obtain planning permission for a three-storey side extension visible from the street. The client had previously been advised by the Council at a pre-application enquiry that such a proposal would be refused on the basis that it would enclose a gap between properties that contributed to the character of the conservation area. Cameron Jones carried out a site visit, providing a study of the existing street scene and appearance of the conservation area, for the client. An accompanying Heritage Statement was commissioned on our recommendation on the basis of our study.

Lambeth planning application reference: 26/01214/FUL

We were approached by the client to submit an application for the erection of a three storey building plus basement including a front lightwell to provide six residential units (1×3 bedroom, 2×2 bedroom and 3xStudios), together with provision of cycle stores, refuse/recycling storages and private gardens. We provided a number of supporting documents including an Energy Performance Certificate and a Secured by Design Report. The site is located in Norwood.

Success – Permission granted

I was approached following approval for 5 flats on the site. However, the addition of a further flat required a fresh application with a number of supporting documents including sunlight/daylight, highways issues and negotiation on financial contributions for affordable housing. After a lengthy process with the LPA, planning permission was granted.

Application to amend a previously approved scheme to include an additional flat within this new-build block.

Agreement in principle, awaiting legal sign off.
