Can I extend a house in Enfield?
North London suburb with Green Belt towards the edge, and older centres such as Southgate.
Places people mean include Enfield, Edmonton, Southgate, Palmers Green.
1930s houses are common. Rear extensions, lofts and garage conversions are the usual questions. Towards the north, open land and Green Belt change the test.
Southgate has a well-known character. A house there is not the same job as a house on a later estate.
