Planning Application

Appeal allowed for he erection of two storey side extensions and part single part two storey rear extensions and installation of front gate to house in Maidenhead

We submitted an application for this scheme which was refused but following our appeal statement, the application was approved. The Inspector concluded “I conclude that the effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and its surroundings would not be harmful – although noticeably larger The Chase will remain a handsome building. There would therefore be no conflict with Policies DG1 & H14 of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Local Plan 2003″

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!”

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.​
