We take on house extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments in Pinner. Pinner is a village-like suburb with a mix of period and interwar homes, and the planning position can change from one street to the next, so it pays to check early.
Planning in Pinner
Pinner is in the London Borough of Harrow, and Harrow Council decides planning applications. Pinner has conservation areas, including around the High Street and the old village, and some houses are listed. In those places permitted development is restricted or does not apply at all, so planning permission is more likely to be needed.
Homes and typical work
The housing includes interwar semi-detached and detached houses, many from the period when the Metropolitan line spread suburbs across north-west London, as well as older cottages near the centre. Typical work is a rear extension to open up the kitchen, a loft conversion, and a full refurbishment before moving in.
Points particular to Pinner
- Near the village centre, check conservation area status and listing before choosing materials or changing the front of the house.
- Many detached houses sit on generous plots, which gives room for a larger rear or side extension, though the council still looks closely at size and neighbours’ light.
- Trees are common, and a protected tree or one close to the work can change the foundations.
