Success – planning permission granted for a roof extension in Barnes

03/04/2017 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Application

We submitted an application for a new roof extension to replace an unauthorised dormer within a Conservation area. , the proposal represents an improvement on the existing situation which includes a dormer which was erected without the necessary planning permission. The new roof will be much more in proportion to the remainder of the house with a steeper pitch which can incorporate all room in the roof with the associated stairwell

Success – planning permission granted on appeal Outbuilding to be used as ancillary accommodation in Twickenham

03/01/2017 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

Planning permission granted on appeal for the retention of a log cabin at the end of a garden in Twickenham for the use by the owner for guests. Whilst the Council’s planners had recommended approval for this, the Planning Committee refused the application on grounds of noise and disturbance and use by those not associated by the owners. However, Cameron Jones Planning successfully argued that the building would be entirely incidental to the main dwellinghouse, that there would be no harm to neighbours and it was granted permission on appeal.

Pre-application advice New dwellinghouse in Teddington

03/12/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Application

I was approached by a couple who were buying a house and wanted to build an end-of-terrace house on their plot. I undertook a site visit and drafted the pre-application letter providing a full justification for the development. The meeting held with the Council’s planners was very positive and the Council gave their verbal support for the scheme.

February 2017 – Planning application submitted for the new dwelling. I drafted the supporting planning statement and advised the applicant on matters relating to affordable housing, sustainability issues, parking, residential design standards, Community Infrastructure Levy, infill development, residential amenity issues and design. This was refused due to concerns with parking.

September 2017 – Planning application submitted for the new dwelling. We submitted an amended planning application with more supporting evidence on parking and this was approved at Planning Committee.

Appeal – rear dormer in Teddington

03/11/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

We were requested by the owner of a flat to submit an appeal on his behalf for the erection of a dormer extension. The owner was of the understanding that the dormer would be permitted development. However, as his property had been sub-divided into flats the dormer required planning permission. The area is dominated by large rear dormers and therefore our planning statement focused on that. Decision pending.

Appeal – two storey side extension and rear extension in Twickenham

03/08/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

I attended a site meeting and drafted the appeal statement following the refusal of planning permission for a two storey side extension and rear extension. I completed the forms and submitted the appeal for the owner of the house. Although the appeal was dismissed we successfully argued that the gap would not be blocked and therefore the principle of a two storey side extension was acceptable. The only matters of concern were related to the design of the front porch and rear roof section of the side extension. These are to be amended and a new application is to be submitted.

Success – planning permission granted against officer recommendation – Mortlake Two storey rear extension to a house in a Conservation Area

03/07/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Application

I was contacted by the owner of a property who had applied for planning permission for a two storey rear extension to a dwelling in a conservation area (and was locally listed). He had been informed by the case officer that it would be refused. I assessed the application and considered it had a good chance of gaining planning permission. I negotiated with the head of planning at Richmond and requested that the application be determined by the Planning Committee.

I drafted the speech for the owner to read out at the Planning Committee (I was away on holiday at the time).

Even though the planning officer recommended the application be refused, the Members of the planning committee unanimously voted to approve the application and it was duly granted planning permission.

Success – listed building and planning permission granted for the demolition of the existing two storey side extension and rear steps; erection of replacement three storey side extension (with mansard roof) and single storey lower ground floor rear extension plus internal alterations to the main building in Barnes

03/03/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames

There is much planning history to his property but planning permission and listed building consent were granted on appeal for extensions to a Grade II listed building within a conservation area. I requested a Hearing for the appeal and represented the owner at the Hearing. The Inspector issued his decision within one week of the appeal hearing. A good decision after a long process.

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!
