Extensions in and around Shepherds Bush
Our survey diary covers Shepherds Bush, including W6, W8, W10, W11, W12, W14. The same team covers Notting Hill (1 mile), Chiswick (2 miles), Fulham (2 miles), Willesden (2 miles), all within easy reach.
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
- Building regulations drawings and specification
- Structural calculations from an engineer (full pack)
- 3D views to check the look and the light (full pack)
- Measured survey of the house and garden
Planning rules that apply in Shepherds Bush
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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 regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
