Can I extend a house in Barnet?
A large north London borough. Ordinary suburban roads sit next to Green Belt and older town centres.
Places people mean include Finchley, Hendon, Chipping Barnet, Edgware, Mill Hill.
Rear extensions and lofts are the common questions on the 1930s streets. Towards the northern edge, Green Belt and conservation areas in the older centres change the answer.
Two houses in Barnet can sit in different worlds. One is a normal householder application. The next is judged against open land. Use the postcode.
