Planning application
PA26/2189
34, Hickeys Almshouses, Sheen Road, Richmond, TW9 1XB
Proposal
Temporary change of use from Class C3 Dwellinghouse to Class E Commercial for a period of approximately 12 weeks whilst the Charity's existing office at 95 Sheen Road is refurbished and reconfigured. Temporary office accommodation is required for the 5 staff currently based at 95 Sheen Rd whilst these works are completed. We are a charity providing housing for people over 65 years of age living in the borough. Our current office at 95 provides easy access to all our housing estates, and so we would like to relocate to 34 Hickeys on a temporary basis as this location also enables easy access to our other sites and would require no alterations for use as an office on this very temporary basis. On completion of the works at 95 Sheen Rd, number 34 will revert to being an almshouse providing affordable accommodation for those in need.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Richmond upon Thames for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
