Prior Approval granted to build a 6 meter rear extension in Barnet

We are pleased to confirm that planning has been successfully achieved for a carefully designed single storey rear extension, through our continued dialogue with Barnet Council. This approval represents a positive step forward, reflecting both the council’s confidence in the design and the effort invested in ensuring the proposal is sympathetic to the property and its surroundings.

The extension has been approved with a depth of 6 meters, offering generous internal space, and a maximum height of 3 meters with an eaves height of 3 meters. In addition, approval has been secured for a further extension option with the same depth of 6 meters, reaching a maximum height of 3.8 meters and eaves height of 3 meters, allowing for versatility in design while still remaining in harmony with the existing structure

The benefits of this extension are significant. The approved depth of 6 meters allows for a substantial increase in floor area, creating the opportunity for a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and family room, the type of modern living space that homeowners increasingly desire. The single storey design ensures the extension blends seamlessly with the existing property, while the careful attention to height restrictions maintains a considerate relationship with neighbouring homes. The result is additional space that enhances lifestyle and functionality without compromising on planning compliance.

From a homeowners perspective, this extension is not just about creating extra room, it is about adding real value to the property. The additional floor space opens up the possibility for flexible layouts that suit both family living and entertaining, a key feature in today’s property market. Whether the focus is on a light filled kitchen hub, a home office, or a relaxing lounge area overlooking the garden, the extension provides the flexibility to create a bespoke living environment tailored to modern needs.
