Planning Permission Secured for Comprehensive Home Extension in Barnet

Achieving planning permission for large-scale home extensions requires a detailed understanding of local planning policies. At 4D Planning, we successfully secured approval from Barnet Council for a transformative project at 61 Hermitage Lane, Hampstead. The development included a double-storey side extension, rear extension, new basement with a terrace, and a roof extension.

Key Challenges in Planning

Projects of this scale often face scrutiny from local councils to ensure they align with neighbourhood character and minimise disruption. Barnet Council’s guidelines focus on:

• Design Cohesion: Extensions must harmonise with the existing property, maintaining a consistent architectural style.
• Impact on Neighbours: Careful consideration is required to address privacy, light, and overshadowing concerns.
• Structural Viability: Basement developments must meet stringent safety and drainage requirements.

4D Planning’s Expertise

Our team prepared comprehensive architectural plans and a planning statement addressing Barnet Council’s concerns. By demonstrating the project’s compliance with planning policies and engaging proactively with council feedback, we secured permission efficiently.
