Planning to extend your London home but worried about paperwork? You’re not alone! We’ve helped over 200 homeowners get quick approval for their extensions. Our experts can help with everything you need. We cover everything from Permitted Development checks to full Planning Permission. We also handle tricky rules like conservation areas and Party Wall Agreements. We will breaks down everything you need to know, in plain wording. Let’s get started!
Planning Permission is the formal go-ahead from your local council. It allows you to build or expand your home. In London, rules are strict—especially for:
Most rear extensions under 3m tall qualify for Permitted Development. This means no full permission is needed. We’ll check this for you!
Permitted Development Rights (PD) allow homeowners to expand their homes without full planning permission. This applies only to houses, not flats, and if they are outside conservation areas. Also, there are size limits, like a maximum depth of 4m for single-story extensions. Around 60% of London homes qualify—we verify eligibility in 24 hours. You need full planning permission for larger extensions, extra floors, or if your neighbors disagree. We can help with Party Wall Agreements. Notably, in Islington, all 5m rear extensions need council approval.
Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings have stricter design rules. For example, PVC-U windows aren’t allowed. They also need extra paperwork, like Heritage Statements. Wait times can be longer, up to 10 weeks. However, we’ve secured 85% of approvals in these areas—ask us how. If your extension is within 3m of a neighbor’s wall, you need to notify them two months ahead. You must also agree on a surveyor’s report. Using shared surveyors can help save costs. We handle all letters and negotiations to prevent disputes.
Our Planning Service Includes:
In our first meeting, we’ll discuss your design choices, help you understand how to get planning permission if you need it, and guide you on the best layout and structure for your needs. This will ensure that your vision is clear from the beginning.
We will provide you with a detailed quote and timeline for your project. The quote will include everything. It covers necessary applications, permissions, structural engineers, and other legal needs. It also includes party-wall agreements and building regulations, ensuring no surprises throughout the project.
Before construction begins, we’ll have a meeting to kick off the project so you know exactly what to expect. Our project managers will oversee the entire build, ensuring everything runs smoothly and stays on schedule. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way so you’re always informed.
Your satisfaction is our priority. Once the work is done, we’ll inspect the entire project with you to review any remaining snagging items. We won’t consider the project finished until every detail meets your approval. Our team will update your space from top to bottom, ensuring everything shines and meets your standards.
