The initial application, submitted by a different firm, was rejected. 4D Planning took over, appealed the decision, and successfully overturned the refusal, proving the feasibility of the extension within Westminster’s conservation area guidelines.

Planning and Design Strategy for Roof Extension Including Increase Roof Height to Create Self-Contained Studio Flat

To ensure approval, 4D Planning developed detailed architectural drawings, 3D renders, and isometric views to demonstrate that the increased roof height would remain unobtrusive from street level, addressing visual impact concerns. We created a series of views from different vantage points at street level to demonstrate to Westminster Council in the best possible way that the increase in size of the roof top structure will not be harmful to the character of the property or street scene.
