Programme

How long does Barnet Council take to decide?

Validation at London Borough of Barnet is the first delay a Hampstead Garden Suburb applicant meets. Step one at a NW11 address is a full measured survey of the existing building.

Statutory periods: 8 weeks from validation for a householder application, 13 weeks for a major scheme, 6 weeks for prior approval with a 21 days neighbour consultation, and 5 weeks for a full plans building control submission. A party structure notice requires one month notice and two months where excavation is involved.

A Hampstead Garden Suburb case only reaches committee if it draws significant objection. Hampstead Garden Suburb clients receive existing and proposed sheets in one indexed set.

Most Hampstead Garden Suburb refusals trace back to overlooking, not to size. We measure the NW11 property room by room, including ceiling heights and floor falls.

Serve NW11 party wall notices before work starts, not after. Once consent is granted, building regulations drawings follows for the NW11 property.

Property stock

What Hampstead Garden Suburb's housing stock means for your plans

Hampstead Garden Suburb is characterised by arts & crafts houses, edwardian villas, concentrated across NW11 in the Golders Green / Hampstead Garden Suburb area. The arts & crafts houses across Hampstead Garden Suburb decides how a scheme is built, not just how it looks. The Hampstead Garden Suburb version of that is simple: edwardian roofs run deeper front-to-back, so an L-shaped dormer over the back addition usually yields a second bedroom as well as the shower room. For a Hampstead Garden Suburb owner it decides the structural spec. Massing on a Hampstead Garden Suburb scheme is argued against the Central Square street rhythm.

Subterranean NW11 work needs a structural case as much as a planning one. If the NW11 job later needs house extension drawings for NW11 properties or architectural drawings, the existing drawings already carry the measurements.
