NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle planning applications and appeals in North London NW and N. Fees are priced per project by our own quantity surveyor, from the actual scope. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
North London planning is layered. Camden’s Local Plan sits under neighbourhood plans in Hampstead and Highgate. Conservation areas cover about half the borough.
We start by confirming the council and the constraints for the address. St John’s Wood is Westminster, and parts of Highgate are Haringey. The wrong policy wastes months.
Each application carries the reports the council expects. A basement needs an impact assessment, which Camden audits. A listed house needs listed building consent as well.
Because we build, the scheme we submit is one we can price and deliver.
What Camden and the plans ask in North London.
- Council
- Camden, Local Plan of July 2017. The hill brings extra tests.
- Hampstead plan
- Adopted July 2025. Groundwater and trees get their own scrutiny.
- Additions
- DH1. Extensions defer to the house. Dormers small, set back, preferably behind.
- Basements
- An application since June 2017, with an audited impact assessment.
- Article 4
- March 1983, scheduled houses only. Fronts, boundaries, forecourts and painted brick.
- St John’s Wood
- It sits in Westminster, not Camden. We confirm the council first.
