  KRONEN is pleased to announce that planning application “26/00254/FUL” has been approved by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, permitting the “Erection of mansard roof extensions and second floor rear extension over closet wing to provide 2nos. dwelling flats and erection of 1no. self-contained two-storey mews house at the rear (1 x 1 bed, 1 x 2 bed, 1 x 3 bed dwellings). Including amenity space, bin storage and bicycle parking” at 19 High Street, New Malden, KT3 4DQ. This approval represents a significant turnaround following the refusal of an earlier application, “25/02082/FUL”, for a comparable scheme.

We are pleased to report that the Planning Inspectorate has allowed the appeal (reference “6002563”) against Richmond Council’s refusal of planning application “PA25/1389”, which sought permission for the reversion of four flats to a single-family dwelling, along with removal of a fire escape, replacement windows, and provision of refuse and cycle storage. The application was refused by the Council in June 2025, principally on the grounds of net housing loss under Local Plan Policy 14. Kronen was commissioned to prepare a Parking Survey in support of the scheme, demonstrating the transport, parking, and environmental benefits that would flow from the proposed change of use. The main issue The Inspector identified the central question as whether the loss of housing units proposed under the scheme was significantly outweighed by other factors, having regard to LP Policy 14. Our Parking Survey contributed to … Continue reading →

Kronen successfully prepared a Transport Technical Note that resolved a highway holding objection, enabling planning application 07/25/0103/F to be approved by Broxbourne Council in March 2026.

The Planning Challenge: Two Refusals in Broxbourne The proposal sought to bring a cafe use to a previously underutilised commercial property in Cheshunt, in the Borough of Broxbourne. The scheme included the change of use to café, installation of external extractor fans and air conditioning units, and a garage conversion to support the new operation. Despite broad support for the principle of the change of use, the application had accumulated two … Continue reading →
