Retrospective Permission

Retrospective Permission for Erection of Dormer

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.

Change of Use

Change of Use to Class E (Restaurant)

Change of Use from a supermarket to a restaurant

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.

Check out the drawings below and contact us to apply for the same or similar proposals.

Landscaping and window planning approved | Sam Planning

Landscaping and windows. Planning permission approved in Hackney.

After getting planning permission for their development, this property owner wanted a submission of details pursuant to conditions 4 and 6 regarding windows and landscaping.

For the second time, we planned the front elevation windows and the landscape with all the details required. We’ve just received the decision notice and the proposal is approved.

See how the windows on the front elevation used to be, and how it is now approved to be. Check the detailed plan of the landscape with all the materials.
