Permission on appeal – Residential extension with rooflight and flue – Mortlake

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.

Planning permission obtained for a replacement dormer in a conversation area – Hammersmith

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.

Permission obtained for residential extension and loft conversion – Kew

The scheme involved a single-storey rear extension and loft conversion including the removal of a chimney. We were instructed following refusal of a similar proposal.  The property is within a Conservation Area and the dormer extension was contrary to the Council’s guidelines.  We advised what would be approved and following a re-design, the Council granted planning permission.

Pre-application advice for a rear extension and mansard roof extension to create 2 additional flats – Kilburn

We were instructed to draft the covering letter and justify the development of a mansard roof extension to create two new flats to a corner building on a busy road in Kilburn. 

The response from the Council was very positive with full support for the proposals.
