House extensions in Cricklewood, scoped to the right borough

Railway-era terraces make up much of Cricklewood’s older fabric, with later conversions and infill among them. An extension joins a rear wall that may already carry a lean-to, a shared drain and a party line. We record brickwork, defects, garden levels and tenure before a footprint is drawn. New work is specified so it does not lock moisture into the original terrace wall.

Three councils meet in Cricklewood. Camden’s statement of common ground with Barnet records that the town centre is shared between those two boroughs. Brent’s parking policy lists the centre as also lying in Barnet and Camden. A place name cannot settle the authority. Planning, highway licences and tree rules follow the council for the exact address. Building Regulations approval and Party Wall etc. Act notices remain separate. Regeneration nearby changes the map, not that address check.

Cricklewood Broadway and the side streets have different kerb controllers, so skip, scaffold and bay rules are taken from the authority that actually manages that road. On a red route, Transport for London licenses the highway. Spoil from a terrace rear often travels through the house. Neighbouring walls and fences are photographed before excavation. Traders on the Broadway are told if loading will affect their frontage.

Give the full Cricklewood address, photographs of the rear and garden, and any planning history you hold. Say whether the home is a whole house or a converted flat. Hampstead Renovations agrees a written scope that names the borough as well as the structure. The extension is built in-house once each consent is in hand.
