Approval for new dwelling in Muswell Hill

Cameron Jones Planning led on all planning elements of this scheme for the erection of a new two-storey, plus basement, detached dwelling with associated parking and landscaping. We worked with consultants to deliver the Design and Access Statement, Energy and Sustainability Statement, Arboricultural Assessment, Ecology Report, and the Fire Risk Assessment. We tied all the reports to a detailed Planning Statement addressing all relevant policies, putting together a clear case for approval. The Planning Officer agreed with our case and granted approval for the scheme.

Rear extension in Ascot approved following previous refusal

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.

Approval for two flats to single dwelling in Putney

This three-storey dwelling, within the Putney Embankment Conservation Area, was subdivided into two flats in the 1960s, one three bedroom and the other one bedroom. Cameron Jones Planning prepared the Heritage and Planning Statement which argued that the de-conversion would not result in the loss of a family unit (in line with Wands worth Council’s policy) but create a more usable family unit. Neither the three bedroom nor one bedroom units could be deemed as family-sized. The Planning Officer agreed with our case and allowed the application.

Cameron Jones Planning’s statement argued the additions would not detract from the character and appearance of the area nor impact on neighbour amenity. The Planning Officer agreed with our case and granted approval.

Successful Appeal – 2 Storey Rear Extension – Exeter

substantial, three storey, end of terrace property within a conservation area. The application was to demolish single and two storey elements of the dwelling and replace with a full two-storey rear extension. The Council’s refusal was based on the extension being an incongruous addition to the dwelling and the impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. We argued that the development does not adversely affect any of the key characteristics or significance of the conservation area. The extension is designed to be subservient, and its impact is limited due to the position of the dwelling and the extent of the plot. The proposal was therefore compliant with local and national policies,

The planning inspector agreed with our argument and allowed the appeal.

Successful Appeal – Rear Extension – Sandhurst

We appealed on behalf of our clients against the refusal at Planning Committee of a single storey rear extension and two air conditioning units at this detached bungalow in Sandhurst. The Council’s reason for refusal was the impact of the proposal upon the living conditions of nearby occupiers, having particular regard to outlook, light levels and noise.

The Planning Inspector agreed with our arguments and granted the appeal, also awarding costs against the Council.

Retrospective Application – Outbuilding of a Dwellinghouse

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.

Variation of Condition Application – Changes to approved plans

We successfully applied to vary the condition imposed on a previously approved application in the Christchurch Road Conservation Area. On review of the original application, our client deemed the side dormers would be far too small to enable the family to gain adequate space in the loft and therefore wished to change the approved plans to allow for one larger dormer to both side elevations and raise the height of the existing chimneys. We argued that the revised dormer would not appear unduly dominant in scale on the roof slope and would not be detrimental to the conservation area.

Successful Appeal – Extensions to a detached home

Appeal against the decision by RBWM to refuse permission for a garage conversion, part first floor, part two storey front/side extension and a single storey rear extension. In the appeal statement, the four reasons for refusal were addressed and compared against national and local policies and also the site context.
