Appeal statement against the decision by the London Borough of Hillingdon to refuse planning permission for the erection of a detached outbuilding for storage use.
Awaiting outcome.
Planning Appeal allowed for the change of use from two flats to one house – Thames Ditton
We were instructed to draft the Grounds of Appeal following refusal of permission by Elmbridge Council for a building to change from two very dilapidated flats back into a dwelling house, for which it was originally constructed and is on a road of other dwellinghouses. We argued that the revision of the property from two flats to a single family dwelling house would secure several benefits in terms of improvements to the interior of the building, demand for on-street parking, cycle parking, energy and waste refuse/recycling storage.
Success! Appeal allowed
Construction of a new café on an agricultural site within the Green Belt
Application for the erection of a single storey building on an agricultural complex to be used as a café to support the local agricultural workers and equestrians. This was an amended scheme to replace a previously refused application for a similar stand-alone café building.
Success – Planning Permission Granted.
Permission granted for the installation of rooflights and replacement sash windows – Earls Court
We were instructed to manage and submit the planning application for the installation of new rooflights and replacement windows to a grand residential building within the Earl’s Court Square conservation area.
Permission obtained for demolition of existing house and construction of new – Esher
Planning permission granted for detached two-storey house with rooms in the roof space, basement, new access and rear detached single-storey outbuilding following demolition of existing house in a conservation area.
We were instructed by the applicants following planning submission to respond to letters of objection. We liaised with the case officer and wrote a letter of support to counteract the objections raised by local residents. The application was duly granted planning permission.
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.
