TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Hampstead Garden Suburb.

Retail units in stations are a market of their own. The work is approved by TFL's commercial team and the station operator before it starts, most of it happens after the last train, and the materials have to meet the fire and smoke standards for enclosed stations. We are approved to do this work and have fitted out units at London Bridge, Uxbridge and Acton Central stations and Harrow-on-the-Hill bus station.

For an operator taking a unit at a station serving Hampstead Garden Suburb, we prepare the drawings, materials schedule, method statements and risk assessments the approval needs, build the counters and joinery off site, and install with our own trades in the access windows the station allows.

The opening date in the lease is the fixed point. We plan the programme backwards from it, book the night-time access in advance and hand over with the certificates the operator and TFL require.

Hampstead Garden Suburb: the houses and the planning rules.

Hampstead Garden Suburb is a planned Arts and Crafts suburb begun in 1907, with cottages and houses by Unwin, Parker, Lutyens and their contemporaries set on tree-lined roads around Central Square. The whole Suburb is protected twice over, by Barnet as a conservation area and by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, which must approve any external change.

Owners here typically want to extend and modernise without losing what makes the houses special. That means extensions designed in the Suburb's own language, roofs and windows that follow the Trust's guidance, and interiors that bring services and kitchens up to date while keeping the original joinery and proportions.

The whole Suburb is a conservation area, with Article 4 directions on every street and the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust as a second consenting body.

London Borough of Barnet

Barnet decides planning applications, with Article 4 directions across the Suburb removing permitted development rights for all external work.

The Trust

The Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust must also approve external alterations under the scheme of management, with its own design guidance and application.

Materials

Handmade tiles, brick, timber windows and lime render are expected; the Trust publishes detailed guidance for each.
