Understanding Planning Permission in Barnet Council

Obtaining planning permission is a crucial step for property owners in the London Borough of Barnet who wish to undertake residential extensions or change the use of their property. The planning process can seem daunting, but understanding the basics can help simplify it. Barnet Council is responsible for ensuring that any development aligns with local policies and regulations, which aim to maintain the character and quality of the area.

The Planning Permission Process

When applying for planning permission in Bar net, homeowners must submit a detailed application that includes plans and drawings of the proposed changes. This documentation helps the council assess how the project will impact the surrounding environment and community. Typically, applications for residential extensions, such as loft conversions or rear extensions, are considered under permitted development rights, meaning they may not require full planning permission if they meet specific criteria. However, significant changes or change of use—like converting a family home into a rental property—usually necessitate a formal application. The process involves several stages, including pre-application advice, submission of plans, public consultation, and ultimately a decision by the council. Engaging with local planning consultants can be beneficial; they can provide expert guidance on navigating the complexities of the application process and help ensure that your proposal meets all necessary requirements.

Interesting Fact about NW9

An interesting fact about the London Borough of Barnet is that it is home to the famous Barnet Fair, one of London's oldest fairs dating back to 1580. This historic event reflects Barnet's rich heritage and community spirit, making it a vibrant place to live and develop properties.

Our fees are very competitive and reasonable. We have a track record of successful planning applications for residential and commercial applications in NW9.

If you have been refused planning permission by Barnet Council more than once, and want to make an appeal, our specialist consultant will be happy to prepare a planning appeal on your behalf. Firstly we will research the application and reasons for refusal. We will then advise on the chances of a successful appeal. If we believe that an appeal is not likely to be successful, we will be the first to let you know, and at the same time, we will suggest alternative options to progress your development if feasible. This might mean a revised design and a revised application or perhaps a different type of application etc.

Whether you are applying for a rear / side extension, loft conversion with dormers, conversion to flats, new build house, change of use to a commercial property or alterations to a listed property, we have you covered and will assist with your project on your behalf. We can also assist with advertisement consent, solar panels, discharge of condition, projects involving offices, shops, schools, community centres or a nursing care home in NW9.

Z. Wood

Elie gave me invaluable advice, which in turn saved me a lot of time and money. He has the patience of a saint! I changed my mind numerous times and he adapted the plans straight away (as long as my request was conducive), and his charges are very competitive, he's also dedicated so you can't go wrong by selecting his company.

J.F Cardella

Exceptional service, solid knowledge, no nonsense, fast turnaround without cutting corners, they are definitely on top of their game. If you have a complex planning project or planning issues they will do whatever it takes to help you resolve it. How refreshing?! Very impressed by Elie's approach and knowledge but the entire team is first class.

Knox Interiors

Elie was great he took the job and got it done! I run an interior design and construction business and the key is people like Elie joining our team and getting things done and he did exactly that. Very little stress and all approved so could not recommend more highly
