Planning Application

Involved with a pre-application submission for the extensions to a small dwellinghouse to enlarge the space by extending it by two storeys. Attended the site meeting and advised accordingly. Wrote the planning statement and submitted the planning application with advice on Affordable Housing (and Viability assessment), Sustainable Construction Checklist, Energy Assessment, Parking issues, design issues, Room sizes, Neighbour amenity issues. Decision Pending.

Planning advice for a couple intending to buy a house and needing advice on how best to extend the property.

Submitted planning applications for 3 households – one as a joint planning application and one for a single household to extend their properties with 2 storey rear extensions within a conservation area and to locally listed buildings. The Council recommended refusal but managed to convince the Planning Committee members to vote against the recommendation and the planning applications were approved.

Planning application submitted and approved without delays

We drafted an objection letter for a householder against a backland development adjoining their property on grounds of harm to their residential amenity, unacceptable backland development, lack of parking, poor standard of accommodation, cramped overdevelopment, unacceptable development due to flooding issues. The Council subsequently refused the planning application.

We drafted a letter of objection for a householder concerned at the development to the rear of his property which had not been built in accordance with the approved plans and sought amendments to the development. 

We submitted a planning application for a new external staircase to a house in a Conservation Area. Although a previous application for the site had been highly controversial this application was approved within the 8 week deadline.
