Can I extend a house in City of London?
Mostly offices and flats. A house report is rare. We still prepare one if you have an address.
Places people mean include The Square Mile.
The City is not a London borough. It is its own council. Very few people are extending a suburban semi here. When a home project does come up, conservation areas and listed buildings are the normal context.
Do not expect a Bromley-style rear extension story. The report will say what the public record shows for that address.
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 City of London?
Yes, when the address is in City of London. 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 City of London 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.
