The brief

What the client needed

A family in Fitzrovia approached us for l-shaped dormer loft conversion on a georgian terraces property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Camden, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Camden Council's design expectations for the conservation context (40 conservation areas borough-wide).

Design response

How we designed it

Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Camden Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.

Planning route

Submission and decision

Submitted to Camden Council via the Planning Portal. With Article 4 in force in Camden, we confirmed our scheme retained the necessary permissions before submission. Officer comments minor, addressed in 5 days. Approved with 1 minor amendment.

Decision recorded Camden Council, statutory determination period.
