Objection letter against development of 21 flats and a restaurant at Westminster Fire Station

02/11/2016 / Westminster / Planning Application

I was instructed by a group of residents who were opposed to the development of a 5 storey block of flats in very close proximity to their flats. The building is Grade II listed and in a Conservation Area. The planning application was reported to Planning Committee and deferred following from our extensive letter. I arranged for the Committee members to undertake a site visit. However, at the following Planning Committee the member resolved to granted planning permission. A disappointing result.

Planning appeal for development of 2 dwelling houses in Fetcham

02/10/2016 / Mole Valley / Planning Appeal

The designers of this scheme – to demolish the existing dwelling and re-build 2 on the plot – approached us to support the pre-application submission. The scheme was amended and we submitted the planning application with a supporting statement. The Council did not support the provision of the new dwelling at the end of the garden. However, we have submitted an appeal against the decision.

Pending decision.

Appeal – two storey side extension and rear extension in Twickenham

03/08/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Appeal

I attended a site meeting and drafted the appeal statement following the refusal of planning permission for a two storey side extension and rear extension. I completed the forms and submitted the appeal for the owner of the house. Although the appeal was dismissed we successfully argued that the gap would not be blocked and therefore the principle of a two storey side extension was acceptable. The only matters of concern were related to the design of the front porch and rear roof section of the side extension. These are to be amended and a new application is to be submitted.

Success – planning permission granted against officer recommendation – Mortlake Two storey rear extension to a house in a Conservation Area

03/07/2016 / Richmond Upon Thames / Planning Application

I was contacted by the owner of a property who had applied for planning permission for a two storey rear extension to a dwelling in a conservation area (and was locally listed). He had been informed by the case officer that it would be refused. I assessed the application and considered it had a good chance of gaining planning permission. I negotiated with the head of planning at Richmond and requested that the application be determined by the Planning Committee.

I drafted the speech for the owner to read out at the Planning Committee (I was away on holiday at the time).

Even though the planning officer recommended the application be refused, the Members of the planning committee unanimously voted to approve the application and it was duly granted planning permission.

Appeal submitted against a Lawful Development Certificate, Bletchingley

02/07/2016 / Uncategorized / Planning Appeal

I was approached by a home owner following refusal of consent for a two storey rear extension to a detached dwelling in the Green Belt. This was a very technical issue on whether the extension could be interpreted as permitted development. The appeal was dismissed as the 30cm rear gable was considered as a side elevation.

Planning appeal for new dwellinghouse in Walthamstow – Success

02/04/2016 / Uncategorized / Planning Appeal

The owner of the property submitted a further application which the Council refused on 3 grounds – design, lack of cycle space and lack of financial contribution towards trees. We submitted another appeal and applied for an award of costs against the Council. We were successful on all grounds with planning permission being approved for the new 3 bedroom dwelling and the Inspector agreeing with us that the Council had been unreasonable and awarded full costs relating to two of the reasons for refusal. A great result.

Pre-application advice for a detached dwelling at the end of a garden Walton-on-Thames

02/04/2016 / Elmbridge / Planning Application

We attended a site visit and advised on the likelihood of gaining planning permission for a new build house at the end of the garden of a semi-detached dwelling in Walton. We advised the architects on the proposal and necessary amendments; drafted the planning statement and met with the Council’s planning officer to discuss the proposal. The response was very positive and a planning application is to be submitted shortly.

Fiona helped us to get full approval for plans to carry out an extensive refurb of our conservation-area property, which included front, rear and side extensions. We appointed Fiona on the recommendation of our architect, after we received advice at pre-planning stage that permission would not be granted on a number of grounds. Fiona provided extremely efficient support, advising us (time poor and completely new to the planning process) on the risks and merits of different approaches to our appeal - low versus higher risk design options. She drafted a compelling appeal statement, that successfully addressed all grounds for refusal at pre-planning and planning stages. Thank you Fiona!

Cameron Jones Planning were very responsive, professional and value for money. Fiona and Kevin Jones worked seamlessly together, covering for each other as necessary. They took time to understand our wishes and sought proactive solutions where others had defaulted to easier, and unsuccessful, approaches. They also brought in other disciplines as required (legal and architects) to ensure our application withstood scrutiny from all angles. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Highly recommend Fiona - she worked on our successful planning application to Richmond council. She always responds quickly and was able to get access to documents not available online that we needed to support our application. Would use her services again

Fiona at Cameron Jones Planning managed to turn, what appeared to be, a hopeless situation into something we could work with. Her diligence and tenacity have given us the opportunity to see the original plans for the project take shape. Fiona works across a number of projects for us, she is always clear about what she feels is achievable and what is not. I value her services greatly and have no hesitation in recommending Cameron Jones Planning.

We would highly recommend Fiona and her team. We were apprehensive as to where to start with our particular planning problem but from the beginning Fiona offered us straight forward easy to follow advice. The fee that was discussed at the beginning was clear and transparent so we knew at each stage what the cost was going to be. She submitted the application on our behalf after careful consideration of the best way forward and we are happy to say we had a positive conclusion without any hitches at all.

Fiona at Cameron Jones Planning was excellent. We had a really tricky case - an old building, a non designated heritage asset- she worked skilfully and efficiently with the council and through an appeals process. She was so clear with us so we knew what was going on all the time. We truly felt in capable (and the best) hands. We are thrilled to now have planning when there were times it seemed like we may not ever get it! Massive thanks Fiona

Cameron Jones recently supported us with our planning application after our first was refused. Fiona submitted a 20 page document including our revised plans, photos and detailed information around the planning policies. Throughout the process Fiona was in correspondence with the planning department and us, guiding and advising where necessary. Our plans have now been granted but we feel Cameron Jones knowledge and expertise in their business helped immensely to the plans being permitted. A Highly experienced and professional team, thank you!
