THE BRIEF

Our client/developer purchased the property comprising an old a terraced house located on the southern side of Burnaby Street SW10 in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The surrounding area is predominately residential and is characterized by terrace dwellings of a similar style and design.

THE CHALLENGE

We submitted a planning application for permitted and also provided construction drawings. The property has an existing garden on the ground floor and the proposal seeks to utilize the rear garden by adding a door to the existing kitchen window with steps.

The requirement was to extend the loft with a vertical dormer under permitted guidelines. The dormer projects towards the rear and with an extra bedroom and ensuite. Velux Rooflights added to the front dormer. A walk in wardrobe was added to the front sloping roof giving the client extra space for storage. The proposed works involved a loft extension with roof lights to the front roof slope and rear dormer window and door to the roof terrace above.

THE OUTCOME

Through our long-standing relationship with Kensington and Chelsea and liaising with the case officer during the planning process, we were able to obtain planning permission within the time frame.

Overall, the client/developers were overjoyed with the end result.
