Clapham Common— Private Client

London Borough of Lambeth

Planning permission granted for Contemporary Alterations to a House on Clapham Common

Our client wished to make a number of contemporary alterations to their property on Clapham Common including for the amalgamation of two dwellings into a single residential dwelling; demolition and re-build of a rear extension, new garage (and associated linkage to the house), a glazed third floor extension; and a number of positive alterations to the external appearance of the building. The property is located within a Conservation area directly adjacent to a Grade II Listed Building.

Working together with GL Studio, we were able to guide our client through both the pre-application and application processes with complete success. The application was approved under delegated authority within the 8 week period. We also managed to obtain planning permission without any pre-commencement conditions, allowing our client to start works on site without any delays.

Summary of Achievements

  • Preparation and submission of pre-application advice request, including meeting with planning officers
  • Preparation and coordination of planning application including liaison with co-consultants, review of submission detail including co-consultant reports, and preparation of Planning and Heritage Statement
  • Successful monitoring and overall management of the project culminating in an 8-week determination under delegated approval
  • Negotiation of no pre-commencement conditions, meaning our client could start on site straight after the decision was issued
