Can I extend a house in Brent?
A mix of Victorian houses and interwar suburb, from Kilburn to Kingsbury.
Places people mean include Wembley, Kilburn, Willesden, Kingsbury.
On the Victorian streets the usual questions are a rear extension and a loft, with neighbours close by. Further out, the plots are wider and a side extension becomes the question.
Some centres have conservation areas. Most residential roads do not. The report checks the point, not the whole borough.
