Approved in conservation area by Newham Council in 16 weeks. Fixed fee £1,575.
A family in Stratford approached us for mansard roof extension on a new-build property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Newham, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Newham Council's design expectations for the conservation context (10 conservation areas borough-wide).
Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Newham Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
Submitted to Newham Council via the Planning Portal. With Article 4 in force in Newham, we confirmed our scheme retained the necessary permissions before submission. Officer comments minor, addressed in 5 days. Approved in conservation area.
