Roof extensions and roof terrace to top floor flat

4D Planning's role

4D Planning advised the client on the feasibility of the proposed extensions which includes a roof extension, conversion of the loft and roof terrace. We established that even though the neighbour's roof terrace was not approved by Camden Council, we believed that it would set a precedent and planning permission could be achieved. Furthermore, a roof extension would be suitable for this property and would not harm the adjacent conservation area character or the amenity of neighbours. 4D Planning were instructed to prepare the architectural drawings and application documents. We submitted the application and liaised with Camden Council. The case officer ignored our calls and emails and refused to decide the application within the statutory 8 week assessment period. We allowed the Council to extend the deadline more than once and negotiated hard on behalf of our client. After several weeks of waiting, we advised our client to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate on the basis of a non-determination of the planning application. We prepared the appeal statement, submitted the appeal and the appeal was allowed and the original application was granted planning permission.

Roof Extensions and Roof Terrace to Top Floor Flat in Camden: A Case Study

Roof extensions and roof terraces are a sought-after solution for homeowners in Camden looking to maximise their living space and add value to their properties. This case study highlights a successful project managed by 4D Planning, where planning permission was granted for a roof extension and the addition of a roof terrace to a top-floor flat in Camden. The project showcases the importance of understanding Camden’s planning policies and the expertise required to navigate the process effectively.

Roof Extensions and Roof Terrace: Project Overview

The project involved extending the roof of a top-floor flat to create additional internal space and incorporating a roof terrace to provide a private outdoor amenity. Roof terraces are particularly desirable in Camden, where outdoor space is limited, and properties often lack gardens. The design was carefully crafted to ensure it complemented the character of the building and adhered to Camden Council’s strict planning policies. 4D Planning’s team prepared a comprehensive planning application, addressing key considerations such as the impact on neighbouring properties, the use of appropriate materials, and compliance with local design guidelines.
