Planning permission drawings, extensions, and loft conversions for Sanderstead's 1930s family homes and detached houses. MCIAT chartered, Croydon planning expertise built in.
Sanderstead sits in the CR2 postcode in the south of the London Borough of Croydon, on the border with Surrey. The leafy streets, generous plots, and 1930s family housing make it one of south Croydon's most extension-friendly neighbourhoods.
1930s detached stock: Sanderstead has a significant stock of inter-war detached houses on generous plots. These properties can often accommodate substantial rear extensions, side extensions, and loft conversions — frequently within permitted development.
Loft conversions: The typical 1930s hipped roof in Sanderstead is ideal for a hip-to-gable conversion with a rear dormer. We design schemes that add a bedroom suite or home office.
Outbuildings: Larger Sanderstead gardens are well-suited to substantial outbuildings — garden offices, gym studios, annexes. Most fall within PD under Class E if the height and coverage rules are met. We prepare the building regs drawings where required.
Sanderstead Conservation Area: A small CA covers the central historic core. Within the CA, planning permission is required for most external works. Outside the CA, PD rights are intact.
