Planning permission granted was on appeal for a two storey side extension to a house in a Conservation Area in Richmond. The Council refused the application on the grounds that the proposal would block a gap and disrupt the pair of semi detached houses. Cameron Jones Planning successfully argued that there would be no harm from the extension and it was granted permission on appeal.
We drafted the planning statement and advised the architect on the design for the replacement of a bungalow with a pair of semi-detached dwellings. The application received many objections. However, planning permission was granted.

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 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.
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.
