We represented the council in an appeal submitted by Bristol Airport, following the original refusal of planning permission. The airport proposed to expand its capacity from 10mppa to 12mppa, with the development entailing extensions to the terminal, alterations to the airfield, widening of the A38, and the provision of 6,350 car parking spaces within the green belt. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/london-heathrow-airport daily 0.75 2022-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1645469088747-7VE2COCKPZGT22UIVTMR/GRP+Heathrow.jpg London Heathrow Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1645469641260-KZMYPAMNDJJ6R8GZQ48V/BAFT.jpg London Heathrow Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1645470215051-COZ803ITDKE6YXIZG5WR/BA+1+cropped.jpg London Heathrow Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1646764570335-IQO67S57KSWIBX7YEJYN/T5+1.jpg London Heathrow Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1646765508111-KHRCYG1FH0KGLLIGH7K7/R3+1.jpg London Heathrow Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/c5fad77b-bf21-485b-8133-a1da8b9b4feb/Heathrow+T5+good+cover+pic.jpg London Heathrow Airport - Currently Alpha Planning is retained by Heathrow Airport Limited to provide planning advice to the various teams at the airport in relation to ongoing projects, either through the use of the airport’s Part 8 permitted development rights as a statutory undertaker, or through the submission of planning applications for various developments. This includes enabling works associated with the 3rd runway project (R3), for instance the undergrounding of the 132kV power lines necessary for the widening of the M25, ground improvement trials, to provide data regarding building over landfill, and securing consent for various construction support sites surrounding the airport. Previous experience with Heathrow goes back over 2 decades, and includes Terminal 5, new Ground Run Pens, BA Flight Training, and originally the 1997 British Airways headquarters building at Waterside. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/london-biggin-hill-airport daily 0.75 2022-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1645962900110-DSH9J0PDXYSCPWXMQPIY/Signature.jpg London Biggin Hill Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1645963457110-2WB8OCBLEYI0EXO6X8SN/Biggin+Hill+3.jpg London Biggin Hill Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1649445768122-B48DAGXTN4Y2Q217KGFK/fire+station.jpg London Biggin Hill Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/927f3bd8-13bc-4388-a70c-9cef5a5cb97b/Biggin+Hill+1.jpg London Biggin Hill Airport - London Biggin Hill Airport has a significant number of business flights with three FBOs based at the airport providing services for executive jets. David Gurtler oversaw the planning role at the airport and in that time secured agreement from the Council that a number of significant hangars/FBOs could be built without requiring planning permission. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/abbey-road-institute daily 0.75 2022-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1646936502949-6ZN6BQY3DOCK5HSHQCBL/Angel+Studios+1.jpg Abbey Road Institute https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1646937480125-27RT0JELS3VKHP4VD5EX/Angel+Studios+2.jpg Abbey Road Institute https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1646937852583-CK1U6KM28WDWZL23YV5P/Angel+Studios+3.jpg Abbey Road Institute https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/3b368977-1e37-4bc1-8888-82b7080908bc/Abbey+Road+with+crossing.jpg Abbey Road Institute - We have obtained planning permission on two occasions for the Abbey Road Institute (ARI), a specialist music production school and famous recording studio, to operate out of commercial premises, firstly in Westminster and subsequently in Islington. The planning permission in Islington, saw ARI being able to expand its educational offer and reopen the historic Angel Recording Studios, a Grade II listed building, which now provides cutting edge facilities for a new generation of students. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/belarus-chapel daily 0.75 2022-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/79cdc93e-efc3-4e1a-834a-9f3e97886838/Woodside+park+church+1+cropped.jpg Belarus Chapel - Planning permission was obtained by Alpha Planning for the first wooden church to be built in London since the Great Fire in 1666. The site in Woodside Park, North London, is in a residential area and planning permission for a chapel had been refused twice before Alpha Planning became involved. The proposal was to provide a church for the Belarusian Diaspora, a community that became established in London during the second world war. The design reflected traditional church design from Belarus, but included modern twists. https://www.architecture.com/awards-and-competitions-landing-page/awards/riba-regional-awards/riba-london-award-winners/2017/belarusian-memorial-chapel https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/francis-holland-school daily 0.75 2022-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647084177524-9DU980M7WAWI7H9L48A3/FHS+1.jpg Francis Holland School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647084807917-MZ5XH5OG5ACB9C66PM8Z/FHS+3.jpg Francis Holland School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647085490546-4U6ZWV9L4HJLC3CDGBTF/FHS+4.jpg Francis Holland School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647085910699-RLR6J3I8CB5E412QZPC9/FHS+5.jpg Francis Holland School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/a3de2350-41ec-4866-a6e1-b24e775db6e5/Francis+Holland+1+cropped.jpg Francis Holland School - Alpha Planning has had the pleasure of working with the Francis Holland School in London for almost 10 years. The school is one of London’s leading independent schools for girls, with two campuses, one at Regent’s Park and the other at Sloane Square. To date we have obtained 3 significant planning permissions that have allowed the school to grow and develop. Our experience and knowledge of conservation areas, listed buildings, and change of use in the context of education, has played a key part in the process. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/institute-of-contemporary-music-performance daily 0.75 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647087722120-1418X1MOVTTTTKCFOTGZ/ICMP+2.jpg Institute of Contemporary Music Performance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647089692062-H9EOKAD7Y0RPIXU7CV4J/ICMP+3.jpg Institute of Contemporary Music Performance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1651487393008-70KIGAHY06B075TIHWV9/ICMP+studio.jpg Institute of Contemporary Music Performance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/5c27dc71-72c8-42b2-89f1-c498de971297/ICMP+Queens+Park+Campus+cropped.jpg Institute of Contemporary Music Performance - Alpha Planning has been working with ICMP since 2013, obtaining the change of use of the building adjacent to their original premises to educational use.

The 5,775sqm of floorspace was granted planning permission and forms an impressive architectural feature fronting on to the Clapham Common, an important conservation area in the Borough. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/resurrection-manifestations daily 0.75 2022-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647607810705-6D1HJ0KTNYJY7OYT2T0Y/Resurrection+6.jpg Resurrection Manifestations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647607984070-YM29A8YGJU2I3XUYUUZO/Resurrection+3.jpg Resurrection Manifestations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1651339341152-8ZYUR3HU19V3BLOMLIWR/Resurrection+7.jpg Resurrection Manifestations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1651339517036-600F64NJJH1W0D1DV9OA/Restored+foyer.jpg Resurrection Manifestations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/64c56876-4aa8-41cf-9e9a-04184878c2e1/Resurrection+8.jpg Resurrection Manifestations - Alpha Planning has worked with the church seeking to obtain planning permission for the change of use from assembly and leisure (former use class D2) to a non-residential institution (former use class D1) and securing its restoration (the building is on Historic England’s register of buildings at risk). Following the grant of both planning permission and listed building consent, Gracepoint has been able to function as both a church and an events venue, with the main auditorium being able to accommodate 950 people, and the tea room a further 100, with additional meeting spaces within the building. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/georgian-cathedral daily 0.75 2022-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647624751147-R5Z5PEIIM9BYAFFPNJJ7/Georgian+1.jpg Georgian Cathedral https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647625154779-72CS0MNVM1UUKFXIP1EB/Georgian+6.jpg Georgian Cathedral https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1647626415269-F8OUEDBWRFCKDI9JV2IN/Georgian+4.jpg Georgian Cathedral https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/df297df9-2525-465b-8283-e11d09ba67b2/Georgian+2.jpg Georgian Cathedral - Alpha Planning has provided planning advice to this Cathedral in relation to a number of matters. Initially our involvement occurred following the serving of a planning contravention notice on the church in relation to unauthorised works to a listed building. Our involvement resolved the situation with the local planning authority without recourse to enforcement action. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/st-barnabas-church daily 0.75 2022-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1648468348037-GADLOAJIX5CASBOGMQJ0/St+Barnabas+3.jpg St Barnabas Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1648468622803-5MUC0BIB3BMGBAN362OB/St+Barnabas+4.png St Barnabas Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/1648472950219-BH3DIPAM8ACEYOM57B2B/St+Barnabas+6.jpg St Barnabas Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/6dd0aa4f-e148-4889-98e9-1d63bf053aed/St+Barnabas+2.jpg St Barnabas Church - Alpha Planning was asked to prepare a report on behalf of the PCC in order to demonstrate that the building was not of such special architectural or historic interest that it was worthy of listing. Effectively our report, which was shared with the Diocesan Advisory Committee and Chancellor, was the equivalent to one that would be prepared for a non-ecclesiastical building in order for a certificate from the Secretary of State to be issued stating that the building would not be listed (Section 6 of the Planning [Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas] Act 1990). This process was successful which paved the way for the subsequent relocation of the church. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/beechwood-court daily 0.75 2022-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/95402e47-f588-40fa-ac65-f6c0f6ad4725/Beechwood+Court+aerial+photo+2.jpg Beechwood Court - In Farnham Royal, our client owns a large site with a variety of buildings and uses on the site, but it is located within the green belt. One of the buildings was an office building that our client wanted to extend. However, national and local policy indicate that such development would be inappropriate development within the green belt. Having considered the needs of our client and the character of the building, which had been built around a large enclosed courtyard, we were able to advise that it should be possible to infill the courtyard, creating a roof over it, without the requirement to submit a planning application. Section 55 of the Planning Act sets out what constitutes development, noting that improvement or other alteration of any buildings involving works that affect only the interior of the building, or do not materially affect the external appearance of the building do not involve development. In order to provide our client with the certainty that he required we submitted a Certificate of Lawful Proposed Development to the Council, who confirmed that the infilling of the courtyard did not require planning permission and consequently our client was able to increase the internal floor area of the building by 320sqm. https://www.alphaplanning.ltd.uk/taplow daily 0.75 2022-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e06903c438624103df265c/6946fa47-d85d-4d25-baed-61a5c02f10bb/Taplow+2+-+cropped.jpg Taplow - Our client owns a 1.25ha horticultural nursery in the green belt which, over the years, has used permitted development rights to erect agricultural buildings. The buildings have been used for wholesale and retail sale of products associated with the nursery, and we obtained planning permission for the sale of a greater range of ancillary goods than those produced on site. However, the occupier introduced sales unrelated to that permission and subsequently the local planning authority took enforcement action against the unauthorised activities. We won on appeal, and the Inspector concluded that the activities on site represented a mixed use rather than an agricultural use. Following this success on appeal, we have made representations to the Council’s ‘call for sites’, green belt assessment and their emerging local plan, advocating the removal of the site from the green belt (together with two adjacent sites – total area 3.7ha).
