Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas always require full planning. Article 4 status here: Yes. We check eligibility free at the site visit.

Primrose Hill is characterised by boutique village atmosphere, painted terraces. The dominant stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraces. We've drawn extensions and lofts for every period represented here — Victorian rear additions, Edwardian side returns, 1930s wrap-arounds, and contemporary infill where the streetscape allows.

Camden Council statutory determination is 8 weeks for householder applications. Validation typically adds 1–2 weeks. From your first call to a decision, expect 12–14 weeks total: 1 week measured survey, 2 weeks design, 1–2 weeks validation, 8 weeks determination. We've achieved a 98% first-time approval rate across Camden.
