House Extensions & Loft Conversions across North West London

LCCL Construction is a design and build company based in Finchley N3, working across North West London for over 20 years. One team, one contract: architects, structural engineers, project managers and builders coordinated by LCCL take your project from first sketch to handover.

North West London is where our LABC 2026 winner sits: Weech Road NW6 in Hampstead. The stock runs from Hampstead and St John's Wood villas and mansion flats to the Edwardian terraces of Kilburn and Queen's Park and the 1930s semis of Mill Hill and Hendon. Top-floor flats with roof space — as at Weech Road — are a speciality.

Planning across North West London

Camden's conservation areas cover much of Hampstead and Belsize; Brent is more permissive in Kilburn and Queen's Park but has Article 4 directions in places; Barnet (Mill Hill, Hendon) is generally straightforward for permitted development. Leasehold flats need freeholder consent alongside planning — we build that into the programme.

Borough by borough

Camden covers Hampstead, Belsize, Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill with conservation areas and 2010 Article 4 directions on front-facing changes, qualitative Home Improvements guidance, a codified 45-degree and 25-degree daylight test and a borough-wide basement Article 4 (in force 1 June 2017) with audited Basement Impact Assessments. Brent has the most generous numbers: its January 2025 extensions SPD accepts 6 m (attached) and 8 m (detached) single-storey rear extensions outside conservation areas, with the Queen’s Park conservation area and its Article 4 direction the main exception. Westminster in St John’s Wood has a 1967 conservation area where roof extensions are unlikely to be accepted and a city-wide basement Article 4 (31 July 2016). Barnet (Mill Hill, Hendon, Golders Green) applies its June 2026 SPD depths of 3 m, 3.5 m and 4 m, with Article 4 directions in Mill Hill, Hendon The Burroughs and Hampstead Garden Suburb. See our Hampstead, St John’s Wood, Queen’s Park, Mill Hill and Hendon pages.

Anderson's advice: put the rooflights over the island

Rooflights over kitchen islands transform natural light more than any other single design decision. We position them on the plan before the kitchen layout is fixed, not after.
