Do I need planning permission in Palmers Green?
In England a two-storey rear extension is permitted development only if it projects no more than 3 m from the original rear wall, sits at least 7 m from the rear boundary, matches the roof pitch and uses obscure, non-opening side windows upstairs. Most two-storey extensions therefore go through a householder planning application, which costs £548 from 1 April 2026 and normally takes about 8 weeks.
The planning position for a specific Palmers Green address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Working in Palmers Green
Across N11, N13, N14, N21, N22, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Wood Green (1 mile), Tottenham (2 miles), Friern Barnet (2 miles), Edmonton (2 miles).
For homes towards Hertfordshire, Potters Bar is around 6 miles away. Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.
What is included
- Layout options: two-storey, over-garage or ground floor
- En-suite drainage and ventilation design
- Planning drawings and application
- Heating extended to the new rooms
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.
What happens next
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Palmers Green, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Palmers Green?
Yes. We cover Palmers Green and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Palmers Green be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Does an en-suite need a window?
No, but it needs mechanical extraction that meets the building regulations. We design the duct route at the drawing stage.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
