North London houses sit on hills, in large gardens, under tight conservation rules. Many are detached, with older fabric worth keeping.

Camden asks for reuse before demolition, and audits every basement. So the design starts with what the house already has.

We draw it, price it open book, then build it. Planning and party wall notices are handled in house.

Our North London work includes a 3,500 sq ft house, fully reconfigured.

What the councils ask of a North London home.

Council
London Borough of Camden, whose Local Plan was adopted in July 2017.
Reuse
Policy CC1 asks for retrofit to be strongly considered before demolition.
Basements
Since June 2017, every Camden basement needs planning, with an audited impact assessment.
Construction
Camden generally asks for a Construction Management Plan with a basement.
St John’s Wood
It sits in Westminster, not Camden. We confirm the council first.
