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.
