Planning appeal – Old Kent Road, Southwark

I was approached to write the statement and submit an appeal following refusal of planning permission for an extension to the roof. The appeal was dismissed but the Inspector accepted my argument that the roof extension would not cause harm to the butterfly roof. The only contentious issue was the size of the rooms which can be easily rectified and another application to be submitted shortly.

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 – Appeal won against a refused Certificate of Lawfulness

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea refused a Certificate of Lawfulness to establish the lawful use of a property as a dwellinghouse. The Council are of the opinion that the property at ground floor was a Clinic (use class D1) but the property was sold to the current owner as a dwellinghouse. I have written the appeal statement and submitted the appeal for the owners. At the Hearing in December, I successfully argued and proved that the property had been in use mainly as a dwellinghouse for more than 4 years and the Inspector granted the Lawful Development Certificate so the owner’s property is now lawful.
