Replacement dwelling in Bray, Maidenhead

30/04/2024 / Windsor and Maidenhead / Planning Application

Cameron Jones Planning worked closely with Holland Green Architecture to develop plans for a replacement five bedroom dwelling that would be in accordance with national and local planning policies and the design guidance as set out in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead’s supplementary planning guidance. We put together a strong case based on a detailed analysis of the local architectural vernacular, and other permissions and refusals in the Borough for similar schemes, The planning statement addressed all potential site constraints and demonstrated the sustainability argument for the new dwelling.

The clients approached Cameron Jones Planning following refusal for an extension to this detached dwelling in South Ascot. We were able to advise on a scheme that would be acceptable to the Council whilst still affording the extra space required by the client. The approval for the 7.5 metres wide extension came with tree protection conditions for the protected trees in the gardens which we were able to assist the client in discharging.

Retrospective Application – Outbuilding of a Dwellinghouse

18/05/2023 / Windsor and Maidenhead / Planning Application, Retrospective Planning Application

Retrospective planning permission gained for a large (7.5m x 4m) outbuilding to the rear of a dwelling containing a home gym and WC. The outbuilding was subject to an Enforcement enquiry as it did not meet the rules of Permitted Development Class E. We produced a planning statement setting with a strong case for the outbuilding based on compliance with policy, the minimal impact on the streetscene and the neighbours and the subservience to the original dwelling.

The Planning Officer agreed with our case and approved the application.

Certificate of Lawfulness Granted – Merge three dwellings to two.

04/05/2023 / Windsor and Maidenhead / Certificate of Lawfulness

We were approached by residents who would live in a terrace of grand Victorian properties (built as one dwelling but subdivided into four in the 1950s). The central property was for sale and the neighbours either side wished to purchase it and subdivide it so they gain half each to enlarge their dwellings.

We argued that the proposal would not constitute development as the scheme would only require alterations to the interior of the building, and would not affect the external appearance of the building. Both current dwellings and the proposed composite dwellings fall within the same use class.

The Planning Officer agreed, concluding: “The proposed reconfiguration of the internal layout to amalgamate the existing three dwellings, creating two 6 bed dwellings, would not amount to operational development under Section 55 (2) (a) (i) or (a) (ii), or amount to any material change of use under Section 55 (3) (a) of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).”

Planning was approved for the replacement dwelling in Maidenhead, including the construction of an outdoor swimming pool and associated studio building with associated parking and landscaping, following demolition of the existing dwelling and outbuildings. The dwelling is located within the Green Belt and a Conservation Area. The Council’s ecologist requested bat surveys to be undertaken and this was successfully resolved.

We provided an amendment to the withdrawn application of a similar proposal. Planning permission was granted without appeal.

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!
