Can I extend a house in Hertsmere?
A Hertfordshire council beside Barnet, Enfield and Harrow.
Places people mean include Borehamwood, Bushey, Potters Bar, Radlett.
Borehamwood and Bushey feel suburban. Radlett and parts of Potters Bar sit closer to Green Belt. Rear extensions and lofts are the common questions.
The decisions to read are Hertsmere’s. A Barnet approval next door is a clue, not the rule.
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 Hertsmere?
Yes, when the address is in Hertsmere. 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 Hertsmere 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.
