Successful Appeal Overturns Planning Decision

Fleet have successfully appealed and overturned a decision to refuse a residential planning permission in the Telegraph Hill conservation area in South-East London.

Although the scheme was not criticised by the conservation or local historic society the local planning authority had originally rejected the proposals based on concerns over enclosure and loss of outlook by occupants of neighbouring properties.

On the Client’s instruction Fleet undertook an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate resulting in the successful reversal of the original decision.  The design team provided additional evidence focussing on the principal issue of enclosure and outlook with the argument prepared assisting the inspectorate to decide in favour of the proposals.

By far the strongest undergraduate studio…

Student Shows 2015: London South Bank University
24 July, 2015 By Ellis Woodman

Extract from Ellis Woodman reviews LSBU’s end-of-year show:

“By far the strongest undergraduate studio is the Transpontine Laboratory led by Jaime Bishop and Richard Henson of Fleet Architects and Andrew Dawes of Zoda Architects. Following a trip to Seville where they studied the Calle Feria market, the students were assigned a site in Camberwell and tasked with developing designs for an integrated housing and market scheme. The projects of Yung Man Benjamin and Benedict Spry were particularly convincingly developed, while Thomas Walker’s planometric illustrations represented some of the most attractive drawings in the show.”
