Can I extend a house in Camden?
Dense streets, many conservation areas, and a lot of flats as well as houses.
Places people mean include Camden Town, Hampstead, Kentish Town, Bloomsbury.
If the home is a flat, the easy house rules usually do not apply. If it is a house, a rear extension is the common question, and light to the neighbours is the usual worry.
Hampstead and many of the older streets are conservation areas, with listed buildings mixed in. A loft that would be simple in the suburbs can be a careful design job here.
What you could probably build
Before you offer, or before you talk to an architect or planning consultant, enter the address. We check what was approved and refused on similar homes nearby. You get a simple report, with a verdict for each common job, such as a rear extension or a loft conversion.
Questions
Can I order a report in Camden?
Yes, when the address is in Camden. Enter it at checkout. We check what similar homes nearby were allowed to do, using the public planning register, and you get a simple report.
How soon is a Camden report?
We email you when it is ready. Timing is described on the questions page and in the terms.
Does this page tell me if my extension will be allowed?
No. This page is about the area. The report is about one address. Check with the council. Rules change, and every house is different.
