House extensions off Golders Green’s parades and side streets
Golders Green’s town centre grew with its Underground station, and Barnet’s conservation area covers that centre together with the railway and the bus and coach station. Houses off the main roads are a different stock, and an extension is usually a side-street or garden project rather than a parade frontage. We record rear walls, drainage and neighbouring structures before a footprint is drawn. A flat above a shop that does not own the yard cannot extend into it.
The conservation area covers the centre, not every Golders Green street, so designation is read from Barnet’s map for the exact address. Planning permission, Building Regulations approval and Party Wall etc. Act notices remain separate. Barnet explains that a larger single-storey rear extension may go through its prior approval scheme, which is confirmed rather than assumed. In a converted house, freeholder consent sits alongside these routes.
Work here is shaped by loading, licensing and parking control at the kerb. Transport for London lists the station on the Northern line, and TfL manages red routes while Barnet manages local roads. Scaffold needs a highways licence on a Barnet road, and any crane over the highway needs its own oversailing licence. Where a skip uses a bay, the suspension is approved before the skip company applies. Deliveries are timed around the interchange, not against it.
Give the full Golders Green address, say whether the home is a house or a flat above a parade, and send photographs of the rear and garden. Include any planning history you already hold. Hampstead Renovations agrees a written scope covering survey, approvals, groundworks and build. The extension is constructed in-house, with licences kept in the completion file.
