We have just secured planning permission for the residential conversion and extension of a large office building within the administrative area of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham where the Council accepted that the permitted development rights under Class J of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2013 represented a material planning consideration outweighing the lack of marketing evidence that would normally be required under planning policy.

Planning permission has been obtained from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets for the change of use of a former warehouse building in Bethnal Green into a multi-purpose arts and events space, including the holding of music entertainment events, with the Health and Safety Executive withdrawing an objection following an undertaking from National Grid relating to the future use of the adjoining gas holder station.

Planning permission has been secured for a new three-form entry primary school on land at Barking Riverside. The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham has one of the fastest growing school age populations in the country and the new school will help to meet an identified need for such provision in the area.
