Approval obtained for zinc clad dormer extension in conservation area – Fulham

November 10, 2020 / Hammersmith and Fulham /

We were instructed to submit a planning application for a replacement dormer extension to a dwellinghouse within a conservation area.  I 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.

Approval for change of use from Office to Residential – Twickenham

September 11, 2020 / Richmond Upon Thames /

This site had a long history of trying to gain permission for the change of use of the office building (last used in 2000) into residential. Due to a change in the parking restrictions there was no longer an objection on parking grounds. I sought a legal opinion from a barrister from 39 Essex Chambers to support the application. and consent was granted for 2 applications – one for change of use into 2 flats and one for change of use into 1 house.

Replace garage with new 3 bedroom dwelling with basement – Southfields

May 21, 2020 / Wandsworth /

I assisted an architect by drafting a covering letter to support a planning application for the demolition of an existing garage and erection of a single-storey (plus basement and attic accommodation) 3-bedroom detached house with associated cycle and refuse storage. I provided full justification as to why the application should be approved. Full planning permission granted within 8 weeks.

Discharge of planning conditions to historic application – Twickenham

May 21, 2020 / Richmond Upon Thames /

I was contacted by the owner of a flat who moved into her property in 2012 but at the time the developer had not discharged any of the conditions attached to the original permission dating from 2011. I applied to remove a number of the conditions as they were no longer applicable and to provide details for the materials, refuse, cycle parking and car club membership. All details approved.
