Appeal allowed for extensions and change of use to a live/work building in Twickenham

Following a refusal of planning permission by LBRUT, I drafted the appeal statement to justify the development. Planning permission has been granted on appeal for first floor extension and alterations to external elevation to ground floor. Replacement windows to facilitate the change of use from B1(a) office use into a mixed B1(a)/C3 live/work unit. The Inspector found the design to be acceptable and there to be no harm to neighbour’s amenity.

Dormer roof extension approved on Appeal to a flat in Twickenham

We were asked to write the appeal statement for an appeal against the refusal of the erection of a dormer roof extension on the rear roof slope and roof to outrigger and to increase the pitch of roof of the outrigger. The owner said “Thanks very much Fiona for all your help, we are very pleased. To be honest I didn’t think we’d get it after what Richmond Council said”.

Planning permission granted at Committee for an outbuilding in Ascot

We submitted an application for an outbuilding to be used as an annexe, ancillary to the main house.  The neighbours raised much objection to this and the application was reported within the local Ascot News. However, it was reported to Planning Committee and approved subject to a legal agreement to ensure it remains ancillary to the house.

Following negative feedback from the planning department, I advised how best to gain permission.

This was approved under delegated powers. ​
