Pleased to announce that following a lengthy planning application process with Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, we have won an appeal against a planning refusal.
The project was for a two storey rear extension to a dormer bungalow. Not exactly the planning challenge of the year! Especially as similar, almost identical extensions were previously approved in the area … and in the same street!
Yet, despite meeting the planning officers and agreeing changes that should be made to the design to satisfy their concerns, they continued to recommend refusal. Their objection was primarily to do with preceived impact on a neighbouring property’s light, overbearing etc. We went to some great effort and expense to compile the necessary data to counter the council’s objections. This included 3D perspectives and a light impact assessment.
Fuller Long Planning Consultants, prepared the appeal application and statements and Flow Analysis Ltd carried out the Light Impact Assessment of the proposed extension.
