Answers for Haringey

What can I build under PD in Haringey without planning?

Single-storey rear extension up to 3m deep (attached house) or 4m (detached); side extension up to half the original width; loft conversion up to 40m³ (terraced) or 50m³ (semi-detached); single-storey outbuilding within the curtilage; replacement windows and doors. All subject to material match, eaves setback (20cm), and not facing a highway.

Does Permitted Development apply to flats in Haringey?

No. Permitted Development rights apply only to houses (Class C3 dwellings). Flats and maisonettes require full planning for almost every external alteration.

Are PD rights different in a conservation area?

Yes — significantly reduced. In a conservation area: side extensions and two-storey rear extensions are not PD; cladding is not PD; chimney removal needs planning; roof additions are restricted.

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

An LDC is a formal confirmation from the council that your proposal is lawful PD — recommended before building, useful when selling. Costs around £103 for council fees + drawings. We prepare LDC applications as a fixed fee.

Do I need building regulations even under PD?

Yes. Building regulations are entirely separate from planning. Permitted Development removes the planning requirement only — you still need building control sign-off for structure, insulation, fire safety, drainage, and ventilation. We deliver both planning and building regs drawings.
