Success – planning permission granted on appeal Outbuilding to be used as ancillary accommodation in Twickenham

Planning permission granted on appeal for the retention of a log cabin at the end of a garden in Twickenham for the use by the owner for guests. Whilst the Council’s planners had recommended approval for this, the Planning Committee refused the application on grounds of noise and disturbance and use by those not associated by the owners. However, Cameron Jones Planning successfully argued that the building would be entirely incidental to the main dwellinghouse, that there would be no harm to neighbours and it was granted permission on appeal.

Success – planning permission granted on appeal 2 storey side extension to house in Richmond

Planning permission granted was on appeal for a two storey side extension to a house in a Conservation Area in Richmond. The Council refused the application on the grounds that the proposal would block a gap and disrupt the pair of semi detached houses. Cameron Jones Planning successfully argued that there would be no harm from the extension and it was granted permission on appeal.

Planning application – Detached garage in Bracknell granted planning permission

Cameron Jones Planning were successful in gaining planning permission for a detached garage after a year long battle with the Council over its height. The owners had gained permission for the garage with a room in the roof but when it was built the roof was raised by 30cm. The Council received complaints that it was not in accordance to the approved plans and refused planning permission for an amended version of the garage.

I then provided advice and submitted a new planning application to retain the building as constructed presenting the application with a streetscene plan to show that there was no harm. 13 letters of support were submitted and the application was approved. The owners can now complete the building. The relieved owner stated “Thanks so much again. It really is wonderful news!”

Pre-application advice New dwellinghouse in Teddington

I was approached by a couple who were buying a house and wanted to build an end-of-terrace house on their plot. I undertook a site visit and drafted the pre-application letter providing a full justification for the development. The meeting held with the Council’s planners was very positive and the Council gave their verbal support for the scheme.

February 2017 – Planning application submitted for the new dwelling. I drafted the supporting planning statement and advised the applicant on matters relating to affordable housing, sustainability issues, parking, residential design standards, Community Infrastructure Levy, infill development, residential amenity issues and design. This was refused due to concerns with parking.​

September 2017 – Planning application submitted for the new dwelling. We submitted an amended planning application with more supporting evidence on parking and this was approved at Planning Committee.
