Yes, we can help coordinate the planning process and work alongside your architect, planning consultant and other professionals where required.

Planning is particularly important in Hampstead Garden Suburb because the area has a designated conservation area, and parts of the area are subject to Article 4 Directions that restrict certain permitted development rights.

Our role is to help ensure that the proposed building work is properly planned before construction begins. Where planning permission is required, applications are submitted through the Planning Portal, and Barnet Council recommends using a planning agent familiar with complex or conservation-area projects.

Hampstead Garden Suburb is a designated conservation area, with character appraisals covering different parts of the Suburb, including Ingram Avenue, Winnington Road, Wildwood Road, Brim Hill, Northway, Southway and Oakwood Road.

We understand that building work needs to respect the character of the property and the surrounding area. We work closely with architects and planning professionals to ensure the design, materials and construction approach are appropriate for the property.

For a standard householder planning application, the statutory target is generally 8 weeks from validation to a decision. More complex or larger applications can take longer, and conservation-area projects may require additional consideration.

The time before the application is submitted should also be taken into account. Preparing drawings, developing the design, gathering supporting documents and addressing planning requirements can take several weeks or longer depending on the project.

Because Hampstead Garden Suburb has conservation-area controls and Article 4 Directions, it is important to establish the planning requirements at an early stage rather than assuming that normal permitted development rights apply.

If a planning application is refused, the first step is to understand why it was refused. We can work with your architect or planning consultant to review the decision and determine whether the plans can be amended to address the council’s concerns.

In some cases, making changes to the design and submitting a revised application may be the best option. In other circumstances, you may have grounds to appeal the decision. The right approach depends on the reasons for refusal and the details of the project.

Our aim is to identify potential planning issues as early as possible, helping to reduce the risk of delays and unnecessary costs before construction starts.
