Local to Shepherds Bush
We cover Shepherds Bush and the postcode districts 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.
Just over the Surrey border, East Molesey is about 9 miles away. In London, space is at a premium and gardens are often short, so side returns, wraparounds and carefully planned rear extensions tend to make the most of every metre.
Do I need planning permission in Shepherds Bush?
In England a single-storey side extension can be permitted development if it is no more than 4 m high and no wider than half the width of the original house. Two-storey side extensions, and any side extension on designated land such as a conservation area, need a householder planning application.
The planning position for a specific Shepherds Bush address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
