Do I need planning permission for a house extension in London?

Many house extensions fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission, provided they meet size limits and height restrictions. However, if your property is in a conservation area, listed building, or Article 4 direction area, you will likely need planning permission. We provide full guidance and can recommend trusted architects for planning applications.

How much does a loft conversion cost in London?
