Planning Permission & Building Regulations in Wembley.
Whether a project in Wembley 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 Brent: 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.

Wembley: the houses and the planning rules.
Wembley's residential streets, especially around Preston Road and Wembley Park, are classic 1930s suburbia: bay-fronted semis with side access, hipped roofs and long gardens. Few streets are in conservation areas, which makes this some of the most straightforward territory in London for extensions and lofts under permitted development.
We have refurbished two houses on Preston Road, one a complete fit-out from bare shell and one built around a new German kitchen with a granite worktop, new flooring, ceilings, plumbing and electrics.
There are few conservation areas and most streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Brent
Brent decides applications. Most Wembley houses have full permitted development rights for rear extensions and loft conversions.
Side extensions
The side access on 1930s semis often allows a single-storey side extension under permitted development, subject to width and height limits.
Building regulations
All structural work, lofts, rewiring and new bathrooms need building regulations approval and inspection; we arrange this with Brent building control or an approved inspector.
