Richmond Upon Thames

Planning application submitted and approved without delays

We drafted an objection letter for a householder against a backland development adjoining their property on grounds of harm to their residential amenity, unacceptable backland development, lack of parking, poor standard of accommodation, cramped overdevelopment, unacceptable development due to flooding issues. The Council subsequently refused the planning application.

We drafted a letter of objection for a householder concerned at the development to the rear of his property which had not been built in accordance with the approved plans and sought amendments to the development. 

We submitted a planning application for a new external staircase to a house in a Conservation Area. Although a previous application for the site had been highly controversial this application was approved within the 8 week deadline.

We drafted a letter of objection for a householder concerned at the size and potential overlooking from a neighbour’s proposed extension. Regrettably the Council approved the extension.

We have been providing planning advice and support on a number of applications and appeals for extensions to a Grade II listed building. Whilst some applications have not been successful we finally gained planning permission for a 3 storey side extension and glazed rear extension. We are attending an appeal hearing for a variation of the approved scheme.

We provided a full report setting out the likelihood of gaining planning permission of changing a property from 5 flats into a single family dwellinghouse taking into consideration the policies at Richmond in relation to the loss of flats.
