The houses
1920s and 1930s houses, with room to grow.
Barnet is largely suburban detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, and much of its character comes from the 1920s and 1930s.
Houses of that age often have the space for a full-width rear extension or a loft. Many inter-war semis have a hipped roof, so a loft there usually means squaring off the hip into a gable as well as adding a dormer at the back. Their kitchens, bathrooms and roofs are often due too, after the best part of a century.
Planning with Barnet Council
Barnet has 16 conservation areas, including Hampstead Garden Suburb, Finchley Church End, Mill Hill, Monken Hadley and Totteridge. Ten of them have Article 4 directions, which take away some of the usual permitted development rights.
In Totteridge the direction covers extensions, roof alterations, porches, outbuildings, hard surfaces, gates, fences and walls, so even a new driveway or front wall there needs planning permission first.
We check whether your job needs permission before we price it, and if it does, we do the drawings and the application.

Questions
What people in Barnet ask us.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Barnet?
Not always. Outside the conservation areas, many single-storey rear extensions can go ahead under permitted development. Inside them, and especially in the ten with Article 4 directions, work that is normally allowed can need permission. We check your house before we price the job.
Can you lay a new driveway in Totteridge?
Yes, once it has permission. Totteridge's Article 4 direction covers hard surfaces, gates, fences and walls, so a new driveway or front wall there needs planning permission before we start. We can do the drawings and the application.
Is the visit free?
Yes. We come and see the house, measure up and talk it through, and the quote is free too. Put your postcode in the form at the top to check we cover your street.
