Planning in Barnet
Local planning rules for full house renovations in Barnet.
Barnet's conservation areas include Hampstead Garden Suburb (with Article 4 direction across the entire suburb), Mill Hill, Hadley Wood, Totteridge, Monken Hadley and Finchley Church End. Hampstead Garden Suburb has the strictest design code in London with the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust managing approvals alongside the council. Outside heritage zones, Barnet is one of London's more planning-friendly boroughs with strong PD rights and a willingness to approve well-designed two-storey side and rear extensions.
Our planning team handles the full submission for Barnet addresses including drawings, Design and Access Statements where required, and pre-application consultation with the council. We tell you whether your full house renovation is permitted development, prior approval, or full planning before you sign anything.
