Planning Appeal

Successful Appeal – Erection of a five-bedroom dwellinghouse

We successfully appealed against the decision by Richmond Upon Thames London Borough Council to refuse planning permission for the erection of a five-bedroom dwellinghouse with associated outbuildings, parking and landscaping following demolition of the existing bungalow in Teddington.

The inspector agreed that the new dwellinghouse had an acceptable effect on the character and surrounding area and that the development was of high architectural and urban design quality.

Appeal against refusal for a replacement dwelling and swimming pool – Approved on appeal

Dwelling located within the Green Belt, a Flood Zone and partially in a Conservation Area. The application was for the demolition of the existing home and the erection of a new dwelling with a detached garage, a swimming pool in the grounds and associated parking and landscaping.

We were instructed by the architects to support the application with a planning statement and provide general advice. Although the Council did not support the contemporary design and refused the application we have submitted an appeal and sought barrister support.

We represented the applicant at an Appeal Hearing and were successful in arguing that the replacement dwelling would not be inappropriate development within the Green Belt. The Inspector also found the Council acted unreasonably by adding one of the reasons for refusal and awarded partial costs.

Successful Appeal – Extension in Conservation Area

We successfully appealed an application for a first floor side extension over existing balcony in Taplow, Buckinghamshire.

The application was initially refused on the grounds of character and appearance on the host property and due to the fact it is in a Conservation Area.

We appealed the decision where the Officer concluded the extension would be in keeping with the host property given the materials were the same and would be of no harm to the Conservation Area.

Successful Appeal – Two new dwellings at Mannings Heath

Appeal against the decision by Horsham District Council to refuse planning permission for the demolition of an existing timber garage and shed to be replaced by 2 x two storey dwellings with associated parking and landscaping.
