Following constructive dialogue with Greenwich council, approval has been granted for a certificate of lawfulness relating to the erection of a rear roof extension. The application sought to maximise the property’s potential through the creation of additional usable space, specifically to expand the existing layout into a larger HMO.
The discussions with the planning authority focused on compliance with permitted development rights and ensuring the scheme would enhance the property without detriment to the surrounding area. The council acknowledged that the proposed roof extension is a lawful form of development, paving the way for much needed accommodation in line with local housing demand.
This approval represents a highly attractive opportunity. The expansion will significantly increase the property’s capacity, creating more lettable rooms and thereby maximising rental yields. Additionally, it creates affordable, high quality accommodation.
With the certificate of lawfulness in place, any purchaser or investor can proceed with confidence, knowing the proposed works have been fully vetted and approved by the council. The rear roof extension unlocks the full potential of the property, ensuring long term capital income.
