Can I extend a house in Islington?
Terraces, conservation areas, and many flats.
Places people mean include Islington, Highbury, Archway, Finsbury.
A rear extension on a house is the common question, and the neighbour’s windows are close. Full-width, full-depth boxes are the ones that struggle.
If the home is a flat, the householder rights usually do not apply. Check the lease as well as the planning record.
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.
