Local to Golders Green
We cover Golders Green and the postcode districts N2, N3, NW2, NW4, NW11. We also work in nearby Cricklewood (2 miles), Kilburn (2 miles), Finchley (2 miles), Muswell Hill (3 miles).
Borehamwood, in Hertfordshire, is roughly 6 miles from Golders Green and also on our list. 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.
Included in a typical project
- Structural calculations from an engineer (full pack)
- Measured survey of the house and garden
- Two or three layout options to compare
- Planning drawings: existing and proposed plans and elevations, site and location plans
Planning and approvals in Golders Green
In England the main routes are permitted development (ideally confirmed with a lawful development certificate, £274), larger home extension prior approval (£249, 42 days) and a householder planning application (£548, normally 8 weeks), with council fees as set from 1 April 2026.
The planning position for a specific Golders 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).
