After an enforcement notice, we’ve achieved our client in Hackney retrospective permission for the erection of a rear dormer.
What is retrospective permission?
It’s the planning permission granting the Local Authority’s planning approval after the development was already undertaken, whether it was completed or not yet.
Property owners who have undertaken development without planning permission would need to apply for this permission, or else they could face enforcement notices and penalties.
However, within a limited period of time, you can still apply after receiving the enforcement notice. Contact us for advice on what could be done in your case.

– Condition 6: External materials.
– Condition 7: Hard and soft landscaping.
– Condition 8: Details of privacy screen.
– Condition 11: EVP’s.
– Condition 12: Ecological enhancement scheme.

Extensions are one of the most preferable options for property owners to expand their living space. You can always have a room bigger by applying for an extension. It could be a double-storey extension, on the ground and first floor of your dwelling, or just a single one on the ground floor – a rear extension in this case- like the one this property owner in Castle Point applied for.
By adding this extension to the ground floor from the rear side, our client will manage to have a more spacious kitchen and lounge on the ground floor. Check out the drawings to see the difference.

This property owner in Hackney wanted to change the activity of his shop, they wanted to turn the ground floor supermarket into a restaurant.
A supermarket is a Class A1 use, while a restaurant is a Class E use, which definitely requires planning to change use.
So, we went on a site survey, drafted the property plan, planned the new ground floor to make it match Class E legal requirements, and applied.
Finally, we received the decision notice from the Planning Local Authority in Hackney, and the application was approved. Now the owner has the right to start their new activity as a restaurant.

This property owner in Enfield wanted to expand their living space on the ground and the first floor. So, we planned them a two-storey extension and a single-storey rear infill extension and it was approved.
Alternations
Later on, they wanted to do some alternations to the front bay window together with retrospective front and rear rooflights. All were approved.
