Planning Application

Approval for dormer roof extension in Putney Conservation Area

Cameron Jones Planning worked on two planning applications to extend the roof space at this three-storey mid terrace dwelling in the Charlwood Conservation Area. The initial application for a hip-to-gable roof extension (2023/2812) was refused at appeal, deemed an incongruous addition that would harm the conservation area. We were successful with the second application (2023/2812) which proposed the replacement of the side dormer and enlargement of an existing rear dormer. The Planning Officer considered the proposal to preserve the special character of the conservation area.

Approval for two flats to single dwelling in Putney

This three-storey dwelling, within the Putney Embankment Conservation Area, was subdivided into two flats in the 1960s, one three bedroom and the other one bedroom. Cameron Jones Planning prepared the Heritage and Planning Statement which argued that the de-conversion would not result in the loss of a family unit (in line with Wands worth Council’s policy) but create a more usable family unit. Neither the three bedroom nor one bedroom units could be deemed as family-sized. The Planning Officer agreed with our case and allowed the application.

Retrospective Application – Outbuilding of a Dwellinghouse

Retrospective planning permission gained for a large (7.5m x 4m) outbuilding to the rear of a dwelling containing a home gym and WC. The outbuilding was subject to an Enforcement enquiry as it did not meet the rules of Permitted Development Class E. We produced a planning statement setting with a strong case for the outbuilding based on compliance with policy, the minimal impact on the streetscene and the neighbours and the subservience to the original dwelling.

The Planning Officer agreed with our case and approved the application.

Retrospective Application – Loft Conversion

We successfully gained retrospective planning permission for a client in Wokingham whose Permitted Development rights for loft conversions had been removed when planning permission was granted for the housing development. The application required a biodiversity survey and parking plan to be submitted in addition to the usual plans and elevations.

We would recommend all house purchasers to check the original planning permission for the development on which they are buying to ensure there are no conditions restricting future developments.
