"We found the team at Planning Potential to be efficient, organised and capable. They were realistic and upfront about what were likely to be acceptable changes to our Grade II listed building from the perspectives of the Council Planning and Conservation teams, and worked hard on our behalf to deliver the permissions."

Working alongside Heritage Potential and Dyer Grimes Architects (DGA), we secured Planning Permission and Listed Building consent for a contemporary side and rear extension to a Grade II listed property in Twickenham.  The scheme also included new dormers, a terrace, and the internal reconfiguration of the dwelling. The property is also located within the St Margaret’s Estate Conservation Area overlooking Metropolitan Open Land.

There was a risk that the Council would not accept the minor amendments required during the application process, due to meeting application timescale deadlines. However, we managed to convince Officers to accept an amended drawing set and permit these changes.

There were no objections to the proposals and Planning permission and Listed building consent was awarded thereafter.
