Conservation areas are sites of historical or architectural importance. Building and redevelopment can be a more complex process due to more planning regulations and constraints applying within such areas. However our highly trained staff have the expertise to address more challenging planning and design issues. We achieve the aims of our clients both on an aesthetic and functional level whilst adhering to regulations set out by the local planning authority.

Lewisham Planning Applications & Appeals

The average number of planning applications submitted each week in Lewisham is around 40, out of those there are approximately 3 appeals where planning proposals are refused. In conservation areas, listed buildings and heritage statement projects, planning and development can be more complex. If a planning application is rejected by the Local Planning Authority we liaise with both our client and the local planning authority to make an appeal. We have had a great deal of success at winning such appeals.
