We take on house extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Northolt. It sits where the Ealing and Hillingdon boroughs meet, so the first thing to confirm is which council covers your street.
Planning in Northolt
Most of Northolt is in the London Borough of Ealing, with parts close to Hillingdon, so Ealing Council or Hillingdon Council decides planning applications depending on the address. Both publish conservation area maps. Check the address before you start, because the neighbouring council’s rules may be different.
Homes and typical work
Northolt is mostly interwar and post-war housing, with many semi-detached houses and some council-built estates that are now privately owned. Typical jobs are a single-storey rear extension, a loft conversion, a double-storey side extension where the plot allows it, and whole-house refurbishment.
Points particular to Northolt
- RAF Northolt is close, so aircraft noise is a consideration for bedrooms, and we discuss glazing and insulation early.
- On former council estates, check the deeds and any covenants before designing an extension.
- Which council applies is worth confirming first, because it decides who you talk to about planning.
