Planning Success in New Malden: KRONEN Helps Secure Approval for Residential Development at 19 High Street

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. The reasons for that refusal centred on car parking impact, cycle parking provision and refuse collection arrangements — precisely the transport and access issues that KRONEN was subsequently appointed to resolve. Working alongside Husband & Partners architects, KRONEN prepared a Transport Technical Note in New Malden (RB Kingston) that directly addressed each of the council’s concerns in a clear and evidence-led manner.

The Transport Technical Note prepared by KRONEN focused on justifying the car parking and cycle parking provisions proposed for the development, as well as demonstrating that suitable refuse and servicing arrangements had been incorporated into the scheme design. By engaging thoroughly with the relevant Local Plan policies and highways guidance applicable within the Royal Borough of Kingston, KRONEN was able to present a robust technical case that satisfied the local planning authority and cleared the path to approval.

This outcome demonstrates how targeted transport planning input, introduced at the right stage of the application process, can turn a previously refused scheme into a successful consent. A well-prepared Transport Technical Note in New Malden (RB Kingston) is often the difference between refusal and approval where parking, cycle storage and servicing are cited as concerns.
