I own the first-floor maisonette at Littlebury Road, London SW4 6DN, a [two]-storey Victorian terrace in the Clapham Town ward, Lambeth. [I hold the freehold / the roof void and airspace are within my demise — confirm before sending.] I want to secure full planning permission for a roof-level extension creating an additional storey of accommodation above the maisonette — an extra bedroom and bathroom as a minimum. I am seeking a robust, implementable consent with minimal conditions, designed as if it were to be built. Relevant local history I am aware of: - 80 Littlebury Road — 24/01255/FUL, ground-floor rear/side infill, granted by delegated decision 17.07.2024 - 62 Littlebury Road — 17/05118/FUL - 110 Kingswood Road SW2 — 24/00422/FUL, rear mansard to a flat, granted 2024 I am selecting a consultant from a small shortlist and would appreciate a brief written response to six questions: 1. How many Lambeth applications have you submitted in the last 24 months, and how many of those were roof or mansard schemes? Please include application references and whether each was decided delegated or at appeal. 2. Have you worked on Littlebury Road or the surrounding streets (Voltaire, Navy, Belmont)? 3. What is your most comparable approval to my situation — a roof-level addition above a flat or maisonette — with the reference? 4. Please outline or show me two recent Lambeth or South London approvals, and one refusal. 5. At this property, would you pursue a mansard within a rebuilt roof profile or a full additional storey — and what is your initial view on the maximum realistic floor area, on the understanding this is a preliminary opinion? 6. What do you see as the top three planning risks at Littlebury Road london sw46dn Finally, please state your fixed fee for the full application, who would personally prepare and manage it, whether an appeal statement is included if refused, and your realistic timeline to determination. I intend to appoint within [one] week and can share title information on request.

I understand you need to secure full planning permission for a roof extension at Littlebury Road, aiming for a robust consent as demonstrated by the successful application at 80 Littlebury Road. My experience in navigating similar local authority requirements and developing detailed technical proposals will be directly applicable to achieving your objective. My approach will involve a thorough site analysis, including detailed measured surveys and photographic evidence. I will then develop a scheme that respects the existing Victorian terrace's character and context, focusing on a design that integrates seamlessly while meeting your accommodation needs. This will include preliminary architectural drawings, potential structural considerations, and a clear understanding of relevant Lambeth Council planning policies, particularly those pertaining to roof extensions in Conservation Areas if applicable. I will also proactively address potential objections by incorporating best practice design principles and pre-empting common planning conditions. To best tailor my proposal, could you confirm whether the roof void and airspace are indeed within your demise? Additionally, are there any specific design aspirations or limitations you have in mind beyond the minimum bedroom and bathroom requirements? I'm confident we can develop a strong application; I'd be happy to schedule a brief call to discuss this further.

You’re seeking robust, buildable full planning permission for a roof-level extension above a Clapham Town, Lambeth maisonette, adding an additional storey with at least one extra bedroom and bathroom. I can help structure a submission strategy that’s implementable from day one: a realistic design envelope, supporting drawings, and a clear compliance narrative aligned to Lambeth context, relevant prior approvals (e.g., 80 Littlebury Road 24/01255/FUL), and the prevailing outcomes for similar mansard/roof-addition schemes nearby. The approach will treat this as a consent-for-construction package: confirm the exact planning unit and demise/ownership scope, then set out the proposed roof form, massing, windows/overlooking, daylight impacts, access/egress, drainage and buildability logic. The write-up will be concise, defensible, and condition-minimising, with a focused risk register for Lambeth, so the case reads as a practical development plan rather than a concept. A fixed-fee deliverable for the full application package can be prepared and managed end-to-end, with an appeal-ready pathway included where appropriate, and a timeline targeted to determination based on the expected statutory process.
