Planning and consent in N1

Islington and Hackney conservation areas cover most of the district, with widespread listing on the Georgian squares. Islington's basement policy restricts depth and garden footprint, and rear extension design is closely controlled.

Access and site logistics

Narrow streets with heavy permit parking, canal-side access limits and almost no rear access. Grab collections and small scheduled deliveries are standard, with protected routes through the house.

What we are usually asked for here

• Georgian townhouse renovation and restoration
• Lower-ground-floor and cellar conversion with light wells
• Rear extensions and closet-wing infills
• Conversion-flat renovation with acoustic and fire upgrades

We survey the property before pricing, confirm the constraints that apply to your specific address rather than the postcode, and issue a fixed price against a written scope. One site manager runs the trades from first fix to snagging.
