Can I extend a house in Sutton?
Suburban south London, with conservation areas and Green Belt at the edge.
Places people mean include Sutton, Cheam, Carshalton, Worcester Park.
Rear extensions, lofts and garage conversions are the usual questions on the semis. Cheam and Carshalton have older centres where the design test is stricter.
The borough borders Reigate and Banstead and Epsom and Ewell. A postcode just outside is a different council, and we still prepare the report.
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 Sutton?
Yes, when the address is in Sutton. 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 Sutton 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.
