Can I extend my house in BR6?
Orpington, Chelsfield, Farnborough and Green Street Green. The useful check is the address, not the outward code. Places in this outward code include Orpington, Chelsfield, Farnborough, Green Street Green.
Orpington is not the Green Belt edge
Chelsfield and much of Orpington are ordinary suburban roads. Farnborough and Green Street Green sit closer to conservation areas and to the Green Belt. Two houses in BR6 can be decided under different rules. A report for the address you are buying stays with that point and the houses nearby.
Order the report for the address. A result for one road is not a result for the district.
The street can disagree with the area
An area can allow most front extensions and still refuse them on one road, especially where the back of the house faces the street. A decision on the same kind of house, close by, is stronger than a wide average.

Check with your council. Rules change, and every house is different.
