Alterations to listed building


Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for alterations and extensions to the rear of a Grade II listed house in the St John's Wood area of London. The property had considerable historical interest due to an attached artist's studio, built and lived in by the flamboyant Victorian architect, J W Wild. Detailed research was undertaken to investigate the history of the property and to demonstrate how the very contemporary changes would not harm the building.

New house, Ascot


Construction has now finished on a fine new house situated in a prestigious road in Ascot. The site presented a number of challenges, with protected trees, a varied character and nearby neighbours. Planning permission was negotiated with the Council to achieve a large increase in the size of house on the site, and an improvement to the poorly designed house that existed before.
