Can I extend a house in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Terraces and conservation areas, with rear extensions and lofts the usual questions.
Places people mean include Hammersmith, Fulham, Shepherd’s Bush.
Plots are often narrow. A deep rear extension can take light from the neighbour. That is the issue to design for, more than a side extension, because many houses have no side.
The riverside and several older streets are conservation areas. A dormer on the front is the risky version.
