Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
EXTENSIONS
Hi,
Could someone tell me if I would need planning permission to extend the back of my garden flat? Our neighbours have extended on both sides (as has most of the road) and I was planning on doing the same.
I couldn't work out from the councils website if I needed permission or not as the explanation was ambiguous to say the least.
Has anyone extended on the ladders, specifically Frobisher Road and if so did they get planning permission, I assumed you would need it.
Any help and advice on this would be great.
Thanks

Hi Eddie
Yes,you will need Planning permission.
As far as I am aware, if you wanted to add a ground floor extension to a house you would not need it as it comes under permitted development but flats don't have permitted development rights. Flats can be extended up to 4m from the original back wall and houses up to 6m (last time I checked). If you have neighbours either side who have already extended,I assume the obtaining of planning permission should be less problematic than if no one had extended.
I live on a road next to Frobisher in a ground floor flat and started this process last summer but have not yet applied for Planning permission.

Flats have different rules regarding extensions than applies to houses. The Planning Portal is a good source of information.

Hi
You will need to on the basis that you are a flat in a building with other residents. It is very important that the plans you or your architect come up with are discussed with the other residents of the building prior to the application going in. Good communication is very important for you in this instance. Remember these could be your closest objectors to your proposal. Objections = more design = more money or a planning refusal.
As part of the application going in you will also need to serve notice to each of the residents of the building. I was looking at the form yesterday in fact for something I was working on.
Have you consulted with your neighbours over how they extended their flat/ house?
