Following Wandsworth’s enforcement investigations, our client approached us seeking to regularise a number of unauthorised developments to different flats within the property. In applying our professional judgement, we advised our client of some amendments that would be required to the existing unlawful developments in order to ensure the impacts are acceptable in planning terms, particularly on the grounds of neighbour amenity. Planning permission was subsequently granted for the part retrospective developments with amendments.

SM Planning successfully gained planning permission for a number of householder developments to significantly enlarge and modernise this dwelling. When the Local Planning Authority objected to the proposed rear dormer roof extension under the planning application, SM Planning removed this aspect from the proposal and submitted a certificate of lawful development for the proposed roof extension. The team successfully demonstrated that the proposed roof extension would fall under the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and thus does not require planning permission. Both applications were successful, thereby meeting the client’s vision in full through strategic solution.

Following investigations by Camden’s Enforcement Team, our client approached us seeking to regularise the outbuilding which had been constructed without planning permission. The site is somewhat sensitive given the property is identified as a positive contributor within Fitzjohns/Netherall Conservation Area. Nevertheless, through comprehensive analysis of the surrounding context and residential amenity factors, we set out robust justification for the outbuilding which led to a grant of planning permission and halted further enforcement action.
