Shepherd’s Bush has undergone a remarkable transformation in the past two decades. Once overlooked in favour of more glamorous W postcodes, W12 is now firmly established as one of West London’s most vibrant and desirable family neighbourhoods. Victorian and Edwardian terraces that once sold at a discount to Chiswick or Notting Hill are now being renovated properly, and growing families are driving that change.
Planning and design for a Shepherd’s Bush extension
Shepherd’s Bush is within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Most rear extensions proceed under permitted development rights, but properties in the Shepherd’s Bush conservation area and on streets subject to Article 4 Directions will require planning consent. The most important design consideration is the balance between maximising usable floor area and creating a space that is genuinely elegant, avoiding the trap of building as much as possible rather than as much as is right.
