Orleans Lodge

West End Lane

 After thirty years experience in architectural practice the office can offer planning consultancy advice in conjunction with its architectural projects and as a stand-alone service.

We have a track record of achieving permissions and winning appeals; several examples are given below.

Orleans Lodge, Twickenham

DCA were appointed to a residential project located in a conservation area. Previous schemes had been refused planning permission, and also rejected on appeal.

By carefully analysing the prior applications and reasons for refusal, DCA achieved planning permission in the face of neighbours' objections.

West End Lane, West Hampstead

DCA were appointed by a developer to refurbish and extend a block of flats.

The council initially opposed the scheme, citing their policy of retaining low rent accommodation, daylighting, and visual impact.

By researching the properties rental records and rating, and also using photomontage and daylighting diagrams, we avoided a refusal and achieved planning permission for both the extra floor and internal re-organisation.
