We were instructed to write the appeal statement following refusal of a first floor rear extension to a locally listed building within a conservation area. The Council had previously approved a first floor rear extension and the new proposal was 30cm wider which the Council had refused. The Inspector agreed with our argument that the new extensions would not have a materially different effect on the character and appearance of the area, the site as a BTM, or neighbouring BTMs, to that of the previous approval.

We were instructed to submit a planning application for a replacement dormer extension to a residential house within a conservation area. We supported the application with a Heritage Statement. The design was contemporary in its approach but mirrored that of a nearby large roof extension on the main road. During Covid, we provided the case officer with a video showing the site in context with the surroundings. Approved within 8 weeks.
We were instructed following refusal of a similar proposal. I undertook a site visit and advised how to amend the design to ensure consent would be granted. Following a resubmission, the application was granted within 56 days.
