How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a building regulations package in NW4?

How designation changes a NW4 (Hendon) building regulations package: Barnet Council maintains 20 conservation areas, including Mill Hill, Hendon, Golders Green. Inside any of them a NW4 (Hendon) building regulations package cannot rely on permitted development, and the route becomes a £548 householder application determined in 8 weeks rather than a £249 prior approval in 6 weeks. Hendon sets the tone for NW4 (Hendon) casework.

NW4 (Hendon) permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Barnet Council, so a building regulations package at a NW4 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a NW4 (Hendon) sale to argue it later.

The building fabric around NW4 (Hendon): 1930s semi-detached dominates; Edwardian villas in Muswell Hill, Finchley; Garden Suburb Arts & Crafts in Hampstead Garden Suburb; post-war flats in Colindale. Suburban outer-London borough; permitted development used heavily; Hampstead Garden Suburb has its own residents' trust with additional design controls. A building regulations package in NW4 (Hendon) is scoped against that stock first, because it decides whether the scheme runs as permitted development, a £274 Lawful Development Certificate, or a full £548 application to Barnet Council.

Which neighbouring authorities border NW4?

• Brent — adjoining NW4 (Hendon), with 22 conservation areas centred on NW2. A building regulations package on the far side of the NW4 (Hendon) line is determined by Brent Council, so the NW4 (Hendon) quote for building regulations drawings is checked against Brent guidance before it is issued.
• Camden — the Camden boundary runs against Barnet, so a building regulations package a street from NW4 (Hendon) is decided by Camden Council instead. Camden runs 40 conservation areas across NW1 and its neighbours, which is why building regulations drawings priced for NW4 (Hendon) are re-checked against Camden policy whenever the NW4 (Hendon) address sits on that edge.
• Haringey — the Haringey boundary runs against Barnet, so a building regulations package a street from NW4 (Hendon) is decided by Haringey Council instead. Haringey runs 29 conservation areas across N4 and its neighbours, which is why building regulations drawings priced for NW4 (Hendon) are re-checked against Haringey policy whenever the NW4 (Hendon) address sits on that edge.
• Enfield — cross the NW4 (Hendon) boundary and Enfield Council takes the building regulations package instead, applying 22 conservation areas of its own around EN1. We re-price building regulations drawings at the NW4 (Hendon) edge because Enfield policy and Barnet policy rarely align on building regulations package depth.
