Third Time’s the Charm: Dropped Kerb Approval in Ealing

Mandeville Road

For what would seem to be a straightforward request, had faced two refusals for planning permission in the past. The property’s location on a classified road and the presence of a street tree added layers of complexity to what many might consider a routine application.

Our Approach

Recognising the hurdles faced in previous applications, we took a comprehensive approach:

1. Detailed Site Analysis: We conducted a thorough assessment of the property, paying close attention to the street scene and neighbouring properties.
2. Tree Impact Study: Knowing the importance of urban greenery, we collaborated with an arbhorculturalist to conduct a Tree Survey, proving that the proposed work wouldn’t harm the nearby street tree.
3. Traffic Safety Considerations: We designed the proposal with careful consideration of visibility splays and pedestrian safety, addressing potential concerns before they could become objections.
4. Alignment with Local Character: Our design ensured the proposed changes would harmonize with the existing streetscape, where several properties already benefit from similar access arrangements.

The Result

We are proud to share that through diligence and expertise we were able to acquire a successful outcome for our client.
