Our Projects
Objection Letter
I have drafted an objection letter against a development refused by Islington Council which had been appealed. The proposal is a bulky and unneighbourly 2 storey rear extension on a terraced house, a grade II listed building in a Conservation Area.
The Appeal has subsequently been dismissed.
Objection letter – Kew
Wrote an objection letter for the resident who adjoined a site where a planning application has been submitted for a large 2 storey extension.
Planning application – Richmond
We submitted a planning statement and planning application for the development of a 2 storey rear extension which has not been built strictly in accordance with the approved plans. The application was refused by the Planning Committee.
Planning application – Barnes
Visited the dwelling house in Barnes in a Conservation Area and a locally listed building and advised on the proposal to extend the property at roof level, second, first and ground floors. I have written the planning statement to accompany the planning application. Decision refused.
Success – Permission granted for extensions to house in Richmond
Site visit, advice and planning statement drafted for a basement extension, front lightwell, single storey rear extension and alteration to the first floor terrace to a large house in Richmond. I have advised the architects dealing with the project and sought amendments prior to the submission to ensure the application is approved within 8 weeks.
Success – Planning appeal won for a two storey side extension to house in East Sheen
Instructed to write the appeal statement for a two storey side extension to a house on Sheen Common following a refused planning application. I undertook a site visit, wrote the statement, submitted and gained planning permission for the owners.
Objection letter written against planning application – Teddington
Instructed by an owner of a property in Teddington concerned about a planning application submitted by her neighbour. Undertook a site visit and wrote an objection letter. Liaised with the planning officer and also contacted the enforcement team about unauthorised works to the site.
Planning appeal submitted for dormer extension – Twickenham
Site visit and appeal statement for a client who received a refusal decision notice for a dormer roof extension to their property in Twickenham in a Conservation Area. The appeal was dismissed because whilst there were other dormers in the road these were not in the conservation area and the Inspector insisted that a smaller dormer was necessary.
Success – Planning permission granted for 2 storey rear extension to two properties
The owner contacted me following refusal of two planning applications. We advised what we considered could be approved and re-submitted a joint planning application for a two storey rear extension to two adjoining properties. We wrote a statement to support the application, completed the application form and submitted the application on behalf of the owners. We had to negotiate hard with the planners and sought amendments for the application after the planners recommended refusal. One month after the decision was meant to be given, we were granted planning permission.
