Planning Permission & Building Regulations in Pinner.
Whether a project in Pinner needs planning permission, and how difficult that permission is to obtain, depends on the property: whether it is in a conservation area, whether it is listed, whether it is a flat with a freeholder, and whether the council has removed permitted development rights on the street. We check all of this at the first visit and tell you the route before any drawings are made.
We then prepare and submit whatever is needed to the London Borough of Harrow: a householder application, a lawful development certificate for permitted development, listed building consent with a heritage statement, or prior approval for a larger extension. Building regulations are handled through an approved inspector or the council's building control, and party wall notices are served where a neighbour's structure is affected.
Because our architects prepare the drawings and our team builds from them, there is no handover between designer, agent and builder. One team is responsible for getting the approval and for building what was approved.

Pinner: the houses and the planning rules.
Pinner is Metroland with a medieval village at its centre: a High Street of timber-framed and Georgian buildings running up to the church, surrounded by streets of well-built 1930s houses and, on the hill, larger detached homes on generous plots. The Metropolitan line makes it one of the most sought-after suburbs in north-west London.
Most of the work is to the inter-war houses: rear and side extensions that turn a small kitchen into a family room, hip-to-gable and rear dormer lofts, and full refurbishments that modernise services and layouts while keeping the bay windows and brickwork that give the streets their character.
The Pinner High Street and Pinnerwood Park conservation areas cover the village and its garden estate; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Harrow
Harrow decides applications. Outside the two conservation areas, most rear extensions and lofts fall within permitted development, confirmed by a lawful development certificate.
Pinner village
Within the High Street conservation area and around listed buildings, external changes need a full application and careful materials.
Larger extensions
Double-storey and wraparound extensions need a householder application and are assessed on their effect on neighbours and the street.

Planning Permission & Building Regulations in Pinner: your questions.
Who decides planning applications in Pinner?
The London Borough of Harrow. Householder applications are normally decided within eight weeks of validation; listed building consent runs to the same timescale unless Historic England is consulted.
Do I need planning permission in Pinner?
It depends on the property and the proposal. Permitted development covers many rear extensions and lofts, but not in flats, listed buildings or where Article 4 directions apply. We confirm the route at the first visit.
Which parts of Pinner do you cover?
All of Pinner and HA5, including High Street, Paines Lane, Waxwell Lane, West End Lane, Pinner Hill Road, Cecil Park, and the neighbouring districts. We are based in London and our teams work across central, north, north-west, west and south-west London.
