Planning permission drawings, loft conversions, extensions, and building regulations for Wembley's semi-detached houses and terraces. MCIAT chartered, fixed fees, Brent planning expertise built in.
Wembley sits in the HA9 postcode within the London Borough of Brent, centred around the iconic stadium and stretching into established residential suburbs. The area's 1930s semi-detached houses and inter-war terraces offer significant potential for extensions and loft conversions, while the regeneration zone around the stadium is reshaping the neighbourhood.
1930s semi-detached houses: Wembley's most common housing type is the inter-war semi-detached house with side access, a front bay window, and a rear garden of 10-15 metres. These properties are excellent candidates for hip-to-gable loft conversions (which can nearly double the loft floor area), side extensions, and rear extensions. We design schemes that make the most of the available space.
Loft conversion potential: Hip-to-gable loft conversions combined with rear dormers are particularly popular on Wembley's 1930s semis. Under permitted development, these can often be built without planning permission, transforming the roof space into two additional rooms. We survey the roof structure, confirm PD eligibility, and prepare building regulations drawings.
Regeneration zone: The Wembley Park area around the stadium is a designated regeneration zone with specific planning policies encouraging higher-density development. These policies primarily affect larger commercial and residential schemes rather than householder applications, but we ensure all applications comply with current area-specific requirements.
Brent design guidance: Brent Council has published specific design guidance for residential extensions covering extension depths, dormer proportions, and materials. Our MCIAT-chartered team designs projects that comply with this guidance from the outset, avoiding costly redesigns after submission.

Start a free quoteYes, hip-to-gable conversions are very popular on Wembley's 1930s semis. They can often be built under permitted development when combined with a rear dormer, provided the total roof volume increase does not exceed 50 cubic metres. We survey your roof and confirm PD eligibility.
Under permitted development, semi-detached houses can build single-storey rear extensions up to 4 metres (or 6 metres with prior notification). Side extensions under permitted development are possible with restrictions. Within the Barn Hill Conservation Area, planning permission is required. We confirm what is permissible.
Side extensions on Wembley's semi-detached houses are achievable under permitted development if they meet specific criteria — single storey, no wider than half the width of the original house, and materials to match. Two-storey side extensions require planning permission. We design side extensions that comply with all requirements.
