Can I extend my house in BR2?

Suburban streets and a Green Belt edge

BR2 covers ordinary suburban roads and, towards Keston and the commons, land that is much closer to the Green Belt. Two houses with the same outward code can sit in different policy worlds. One may be a straightforward householder scheme under Bromley’s design policies. The next, closer to the common, may be judged as an extension in the Green Belt.

Conservation areas and listed buildings are scattered rather than continuous. Tree preservation is a frequent practical constraint and is not always visible in the national dataset, so the report will tell you when that check came back empty.

How to use the evidence

Order the report against the address you are offering on, not against “BR2” as a whole. Look at whether rear extensions on that street were single-storey and approved, and whether two-storey side additions kept a metre to the boundary. That side-space habit is the one Bromley appeals return to.
