Yes.

We design to match the period detailing and submit to Hackney.
Hackney Wick and Fish Island are designated creative-industry regeneration areas with their own character and a conservation area covering the historic warehouses, so conversions and alterations are assessed on heritage and employment-floorspace policy. We produce drawings tailored to that policy context and the Building Control requirements of warehouse conversions.
Usually yes on terraces outside the conservation areas — a rear dormer within the volume allowance, confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate. Inside the Victoria Park or Well Street Common designations, roof changes need full planning. We confirm which applies to your road and draw it for Building Control.
Proximity to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has driven values and new-build across eastern E9, especially around Hackney Wick.

In value terms, yes. With Homerton (E9) property at around £450,000 for a flat and £750,000-£1.1m for a house, a well-designed extension or loft typically returns more than it costs in added floor area and sale value, while our fixed drawing fee from £1,225 keeps the professional cost predictable.
