Variation of Condition – Reinstate Permitted Development Rights

05/05/2023 / Runnymede / Conditions, Variation of Planning Permission

A client wished to vary a condition of an earlier permission that removed permitted development rights for this dwelling on a 10 acre plot in the Green Belt . The new owners were querying the plot division when the previous owners sub-divided the dwelling into three separate units. The Local Planning Authority were unhappy with the treatment of the curtilage, not wanting the entire 10 acres to be considered as part of the residential plot for PD purposes.

Following extensive negotiations between the Planning Officer and the client, and many site plans we were able to achieve a satisfactory outcome on the curtilage for each plot and were successful in having permitted development rights reinstated.

Successful Application – Change of use in Runnymede

18/02/2022 / Runnymede / Planning Application

We were approached by the client to submit an application for the change of use from Use Class E (barber’s shop) to a Sui Generis use to be used as a Nail/beauty parlour.

The Officer concluded that the development was considered acceptable in terms of appearance and with no harmful
impacts on residential amenities.

Success – Permission granted

Two applications submitted for the same property in Ottershaw in the Green Belt

02/04/2019 / Runnymede / Planning Application

1) Prior Approval Notification for change of use of office to residential

2) Retrospective planning application for use of property as three dwellings

I was instructed by the owner to regularise the property which has been in the same use for a number of years. We have applied for planning permission to retain the building as three dwellings following positive advice from the Council. The owner also sought to seek permission for the change of use of an office into residential use, utilising the permitted development rights.

Planning application submitted for block of 5 flats in Virginia Water

02/12/2016 / Runnymede / Planning Application

I was approached by a home owner after having had planing permission refused and pre-application advice turned down for the redevelopment of their house for a block of 6 flats. I attended a site visit and advised on instructing a new architect. The re-design is a vast improvement and I drafted the planning statement and submitted the planning application. Decision pending.

Achieved a smooth successful retrospective planning application. Simple engagement process; trustworthy and transparent in terms of work needed and pricing; responsive when questions raised; and adaptable.

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
