Planning permission drawings, mansion block reconfigurations, loft conversions, and flat conversions for West Hampstead's Victorian and Edwardian housing. MCIAT chartered, fixed fees, Camden planning expertise built in.
West Hampstead sits in the NW6 postcode within the London Borough of Camden. The neighbourhood's dense mix of Victorian mansion blocks, Edwardian terraces, and post-war flats — together with extensive conservation area coverage — makes it one of north-west London's most tightly controlled planning environments.
Mansion blocks: West Hampstead has a significant stock of Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks. Internal reconfigurations, window replacements, and balcony additions require freeholder consent alongside any Camden planning permission. Our drawings are prepared to meet Camden's requirements and typical freeholder expectations.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces: The streets around West End Lane contain period terraces suitable for rear extensions, side-return infills, and loft conversions. Within the conservation areas, planning permission is usually required.
Basement conversions: Camden has one of London's strictest basement policies. Lightwells, rear extensions of basements, and any subterranean works face tight controls. Our team understands Camden's basement requirements and prepares compliant schemes.
Conservation and Article 4: West End Green and Fortune Green CAs cover significant portions of NW6. Article 4 Directions apply. Heritage Statements are required. We prepare conservation-grade applications.
