Planning across London

Every London borough has its own planning policies, conservation areas and Article 4 directions. The constants are the national permitted-development rules for lofts and single-storey rear extensions, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and building control — we use LABC on every project.

Anderson's advice: start the party wall process early

Most clients underestimate the party wall timeline — it can add three months to a semi-detached or terraced project. We raise it at the first meeting so notices go out while the design is still being finalised, not after.

What our clients say

“The Lccl construction team built my extension with a quick and clean service, they worked non stop through the winter weather.. I would highly recommend this company!”
