Planning Permission & Building Regulations in Stanmore.
Whether a project in Stanmore 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.

Stanmore: the houses and the planning rules.
Stanmore sits at the end of the Jubilee line, with larger houses and larger plots than most of north-west London: substantial 1930s semis and detached houses on tree-lined roads, and bigger detached houses on the slopes towards Stanmore Common. The old village around Stanmore Hill and the churches is a conservation area.
Our Stanmore loft conversion turned unused roof space into a master bedroom with roof windows on both pitches and an en-suite, with the rest of the house refurbished to match. The detached and semi-detached stock here suits hip-to-gable lofts and double-storey rear extensions particularly well.
The Stanmore Hill and Old Church Lane conservation areas cover the old village; most other streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Harrow
Harrow is the planning authority. Most Stanmore houses are outside conservation areas, so permitted development covers many extensions and lofts.
Hip-to-gable lofts
Common on Stanmore's hipped-roof semis; usually permitted development within the 50 cubic metre allowance, with materials matching the existing roof.
Larger schemes
Two-storey extensions, wraparounds and anything in the Stanmore Hill conservation area need a planning application.

Planning Permission & Building Regulations in Stanmore: your questions.
Who decides planning applications in Stanmore?
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 Stanmore?
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.
