At SAM Planning, we’re proud to have recently secured planning permission for the demolition of an existing dwelling and the erection of a stunning new two-storey home in Barnet, complete with a basement level, rear lightwell with walk-on roof light, and additional accommodation within the roof space. This exciting project reflects our expertise in managing complex residential schemes that balance design ambition with planning policy compliance.
Through proactive dialogue with the local council, our team navigated a range of planning considerations, including design scale, local character, and amenity impact. By engaging early and constructively with planning officers, we were able to address potential concerns and refine the proposal to meet both client aspirations and council expectations. Our collaborative approach ensured that the application progressed smoothly, resulting in a successful planning consent that maximizes the site’s potential while enhancing the local streetscape.
This permission delivers significant benefits for the client and the wider area. The new dwelling offers modern, energy-efficient living spaces with increased floor area and improved natural light through the basement lightwell and rooflight design. The scheme replaces an outdated property with a high-quality, sustainable home that meets contemporary living standards while respecting the character of its surroundings. The inclusion of rooms in the roof space adds flexibility for future family needs, and the basement level provides valuable additional space without compromising the building’s external appearance
Securing permission for a project of this nature requires strategic thinking, design sensitivity, and a deep understanding of planning policy — all of which our team brings to every project. At SAM Planning, we specialize in guiding homeowners, developers, and architects through the planning process from concept to consent. Our success is built on clear communication with councils, a thorough understanding of local policy, and an unwavering commitment to delivering positive results.
If you’re considering redeveloping or extending your property, let our team help you unlock its full potential. With our proven track record of achieving approvals for challenging residential projects, we turn ambitious visions into achievable, consented developments.
