Flat Refurbishment in Regent's Park.
Refurbishing a flat is a different job from refurbishing a house. The design questions are the same, but the approvals, the logistics and the neighbours are not. In Regent's Park most flats sit in mansion blocks or converted houses, which means a freeholder or managing agent to satisfy, restricted working hours, lift and stair access to plan, and sound insulation between floors to prove at inspection.
We handle all of it. Before work starts we prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder needs for a licence to alter, agree deliveries and hours with the building, and protect the common parts. On site, our own team does the strip-out, services, joinery, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration, so the flat is closed up and finished in one continuous programme.
Because we supply the Italian and German kitchens and the bathroom furniture ourselves, we can design the whole flat as one scheme and order everything at once, which matters when access is difficult and every delivery has to be booked.

Regent's Park: the houses and the planning rules.
The terraces around Regent's Park are among the most protected houses in Britain: John Nash's stucco palaces on the Outer Circle are Grade I listed and held on Crown Estate leases, with the Camden side of the park administered by Camden and the Westminster side by Westminster. Behind them, Primrose Hill and the streets towards Camden Town are Victorian and largely within conservation areas.
Several of our most demanding projects are here: three vaults under a Grade I listed house enlarged into a habitable basement floor, a loft opened into a roof terrace with a bespoke glass skylight, and bathrooms and bedrooms refurbished under listed building consent. Working in these houses means drawings first, consent second and building third.
The Regent's Park Conservation Area covers the whole district, and the Nash terraces are Grade I listed.
Two planning authorities
Camden covers the north and east of the park, Westminster the south and west. Both apply conservation-area policies and both consult Historic England on Grade I and II* proposals.
Listed building consent
Internal alterations to the Nash terraces and villas need listed building consent. Heritage statements, careful detailing and reversible interventions are expected.
Crown Estate leases
Many terraces are on Crown Estate leases with their own approval process, which runs alongside the council's.
Approvals for flat refurbishment in Regent's Park.
Flats need a licence to alter from the freeholder or managing agent as well as building regulations approval; the sound insulation between flats is checked at inspection, and any change to the exterior, including windows, needs planning permission.

Flat Refurbishment in Regent's Park: your questions.
Do I need the freeholder's permission to refurbish a flat in Regent's Park?
Almost always, through a licence to alter. We prepare the drawings and method statements the freeholder or managing agent asks for and build their approval time into the programme so it does not hold up the start.
How long does a flat refurbishment take?
A two-bedroom flat typically takes eight to twelve weeks on site once approvals are in place. Lift access, parking and the block's working hours all affect the programme, so we plan around them from the outset.
Which parts of Regent's Park do you cover?
All of Regent's Park and NW1, including Outer Circle, Chester Terrace, Cumberland Terrace, Park Village, Albany Street, Gloucester Gate, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
