Securing planning permission for this project in Haringey required a careful balance of design ambition, neighbourly considerations, and a proactive dialogue with the local authority. Through continuous engagement with Haringey Council’s planning team, we were able to address key concerns early, refine the proposals collaboratively, and demonstrate how the scheme would enhance the character of the properties while respecting the surrounding context. This constructive, solution focused approach ultimately led to successful approval for a single storey rear ground floor extension to one residential property, alongside coordinated first floor rear extensions across that property and three neighbouring homes
The approved development brings significant benefits to all involved. For the homeowners, the extensions unlock substantial new internal space, creating larger living environments without compromising daylight, privacy, or the architectural rhythm of the terrace. By aligning the first floor extensions across four adjoining properties, the design avoids the piecemeal appearance often associated with isolated additions, instead delivering a unified and coherent rear elevation. This coordinated approach also streamlined the planning process, minimising disputes, ensuring design consistency, and reducing the risk of future conflicts between neighbouring households
For prospective clients, this project is a strong example of what our planning team does best: navigating complex multi property proposals, managing stakeholder expectations, and securing permission where competing interests can easily stall progress. Whether you are planning a straightforward home extension or a more intricate scheme involving multiple owners, we take on the negotiation, the technical work, and the strategic communication with the council so you don’t have to. Our expertise lies not only in understanding planning policy, but In knowing how to work with local authorities to achieve outcomes that are both compliant and commercially valuable
If you want a planning partner who can unlock space, add value to your property, and steer your application to approval with confidence and clarity, we would love to work with you. Let us turn your ideas into permissions—and your permissions into real, tangible improvements to your home or development portfolio.
