Planning Permission London

Let your neighbours know about any extension work you intend to carry out to your property. They are likely to be as concerned about work which might affect them as you would be about changes which might affect your enjoyment of your own property. Even if what you want to do would be lawful from a planning point of view, there is no point in upsetting neighbours if a compromise could be agreed prior to any design or building work.

Think carefully about how your property will look after building work is finished. Everybody's taste varies and different styles will suit different types of residential property. Nevertheless, a well-designed building or house extension is likely to be much more attractive to you and to your neighbours, it is also likely to add value to your house when you sell it.
