Appeal – rear dormer in Teddington
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
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
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.
