1 Dyers Hall Road, Leyton, London
In November 2016 JRS Planning secured planning permission on appeal for a new three-bedroom dwelling house including loft conversion with roof extension. The clients, Mr and Mrs Waterworth expressed their absolute adulation with the decision and service received from JRS Planning in the following testimonial:
We couldn’t be happier with the service that we received form Jacob. We used Jacob to appeal a planning permission decision that had been rejected by the council on multiple attempts, and thanks to Jacob we won the appeal! We are absolutely thrilled with this result.
Prior to using Jacob we were having severe difficulty liaising with the council. Attempting to seek planning permission was a really frustrating, expensive and time consuming process. Attempts to communicate with the council and resolve the issue ourselves had made us feel like we were getting nowhere; we felt completely disheartened, we had exhausted all other avenues and we had almost lost hope.
We definitely didn’t have the skills to argue the appeal ourselves, so having Jacob on our team made all the difference. We were very impressed with the documentation that Jacob prepared for the appeal, it was clear to us that a lot of time and effort had been made on his part. Further to this, it was Jacob’s expert understanding of that appeals process, which was far superior to anyone else’s who we have spoken to, that added the extra value that we simply could not have achieved without him. Jacob made the whole process really easy for us, he did all of the hard work and he was very diligent at keeping us updated throughout the process. We felt as though every effort had been made to argue our case to its fullest potential.
It was all thanks to Jacob that we won the appeal, and this really has had a transformational impact on our lives. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again, and again, the end result is the best thing that we could have hoped for.

Hammersmith, London - Mid Terrace Dwelling House
After a 10-month battle with the Local Planning Authority, and an unsuccessful appeal (different architectural consultancy), this client, in desperate need of more space due to a growing family, appointed JRS PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE to design a pod dormer extension that would meet the clients’ needs AND be acceptable to the LPA Planners. This well-designed pod dormer, to sit on-top of the existing two storey rear outrigger of property, will link up with the existing rear dormer to create a high-quality internal space. Following successful collaboration between client, planner, architect and LPA planners, it took JRS PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE just 6 weeks to get the planning application approved!
North East London - Beautiful new 6-bedroom dwelling house with full basement and car lift - Conservation Area
The client appointed Arch PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE to design a new dwelling that would fit into the unique character and appearance of the Wanstead Village Conservation Area in London. The client approached ARCH PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE following an unsuccessful previous attempt from a different consultancy at obtaining planning permission for a replacement dwelling on the site. The Consultants at ARCH PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE immediately undertook an in-depth study of the unique characteristics of the conservation area and allowed these fundamentals to guide them to ultimately come up with this immaculately designed 6 bedroom detached dwelling house, that will neatly fit into this sensitive conservation area context. The new dwelling will include a sunken garage to provide access to a large basement garage, as well as an entertainment area and gym/spa room. On ground, first and second floors (respectively) will be the living spaces plus a total of 6 spacious bedrooms.
Oakleigh Avenue, Whetstone, North London – Renovation project including large ground floor rear extension and loft conversion – detached dwelling
ARCH PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE was appointed to prepare the final drawings including detailed internal and external computer generate images (CGI’s) of a complete renovation on this property in Oakleigh Avenue, Whetstone, North London. The client acquired the property in a dilapidated state and instructed ARCH PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE to advise on internal layout and external alterations/finishing details. Our highly trained and talented Architectural Consultant prepared these external and internal CGI’s of what the finished product will look like. The client used these images for marketing purposes whilst building works are continuing on site. At ARCH PLANNING & ARCHITECTURE we can demonstrate, through highly accurate CGI’s how your finished product will appear in the street scene, and how your internal spaces will function once building works are completed.
