Barking & Dagenham's low planning complexity makes it one of the most straightforward boroughs for householder development. With 7 conservation areas and minimal Article 4 coverage, most works proceed via permitted development or simple householder planning. The compliance focus shifts to building regulations — which is where quality drawings make the biggest practical difference.
This project combined a 4m rear extension with a garage conversion. The structural challenge was the shared wall between the garage and the existing house — the original structure used party cavity walls that needed to be assessed for load transfer when the garage opening was enlarged.
We produced Full Plans drawings covering the structural design (with an external engineer we coordinated), thermal insulation to Part L, mechanical ventilation for the converted garage (which becomes a habitable room requiring background ventilation under Part F), and fire spread protection to Part B.
Barking & Dagenham's building control team approved the Full Plans in 3 weeks — the fastest approval time on any project in our caseload during Q4 2024. The builder completed both elements in a single 7-week programme.
