Appeal against conditions

A householder received planning permission and listed building consent for extensions and alterations to their listed cottage in Essex. Unexpected to them the permission contained planning conditions that modified the scheme through looking to vary window design. This would have made the new extensions much less attractive to the occupier, and also were felt by the architect to be unjustified.

An appeal was lodged to vary and remove the planning conditions. The appeal was allowed and the concept of the architect and client reinstated through a much more preferable modified planning permission.

Extensions to house in conservation area

A few technical problems mean a delay in updates....

But now news about permission granted at appeal for extensions and alterations to a detached house in the centre of Chertsey, Surrey. The property lies in a conservation area, next to the Church and close to other houses. The scheme will see extensive remodelling of the property and a large increase in accommodation for the family. The Inspector was persuaded that there would be no harm to the conservation area and no impact on the neighbours.
