Highgate straddles a borough boundary. Part of it answers to Haringey, part to Camden. A design here begins by fixing which side the house is on.

That choice matters most below ground. Camden caps a basement at one storey and half the garden. Haringey’s Policy DM18 sets no such cap, but tests stability, trees and flooding.

Above ground, one shared neighbourhood plan guides both councils. Its Policy DH5 keeps dormers and roof extensions to the rear. Chimneystacks that add to the street should stay.

One contract covers the lot. Our designers draw with ARB-registered architects we partner with. Matt Coverley, our quantity surveyor, prices every line open book.

We have not built in N6 yet. Our nearest work is a 3,500 sq ft house in N2. We reconfigured it and fitted it out over about 54 weeks.

What two councils ask of a Highgate house.

Council: Haringey or Camden, depending on the address. Both adopted the Highgate Neighbourhood Plan in 2017.
Haringey basements: Policy DM18. A front light well may take no more than half the front garden.
Camden basements: Policy A5. One storey under half of each garden. The impact assessment is audited.
Construction: Camden generally asks for a Construction Management Plan with a basement.
Roof form: Plan Policy DH5. Roof additions respect the existing form and sit to the rear.
