This page covers the northern part of the borough — Hampstead, Belsize Park, Gospel Oak, Dartmouth Park, Highgate borders and Kentish Town and the streets around them. The stock here is largely hillside Victorian and Edwardian villas, red-brick mansion blocks and steep terraced streets, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Camden Council.
The Hampstead and Dartmouth Park conservation areas are among the borough's most tightly controlled, so most alterations here need full planning with a Heritage Statement rather than relying on Permitted Development. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the northern Camden streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.
