What kind of extension suits my property in Battersea?

The typical housing stock in Battersea of Victorian and Edwardian houses is particularly suited to a rear and side return extension or a wraparound extension. Extending into the garden can dramatically increase your living space and create an ergonomic space that fulfils all your requirements and gives you a greater connection to your garden. A side return extension can also work to incorporate the otherwise unused space typically at the side of a London Victorian property, giving you more room internally and utilising an otherwise unused garden space. When choosing a type of extension there are a few considerations including what you want to use the space for and how you want the space to flow and access to the garden. We are here to guide you through the process, and our design team are able to bring your ideas to life.

Do I need planning permission for my extension in Battersea?

You may have permitted development rights for your extension in Battersea, in which case you would not need to apply for planning permission. In order to obtain permitted development rights you must comply with the permitted development regulations and in some cases apply for a legal right of development certificate. The planning requirements should be checked with the local council as regulations vary from Borough to Borough. We know the guidelines very well and can advise on planning permission and give you an indication of the process. If this is something you are interested in, give us a call today.

Case Studies

Rear extension Battersea

We designed and built a rear extension to a mid-terraced house in Battersea for our client. This property is located in the heart of Battersea, with its SW11 postcode affording our client to all of the wonderful amenities that Battersea has to offer. This house is typical of the housing stock of Battersea, Victorian terraced house. We carried out a 3m rear extension which was fully glazed to the rear and opened directly to the existing property creating a large plan living and dining space between the sitting room and new kitchen extension. We added large glass doors partitioning the new extension space from the existing sitting room so as to maximise light throughout but also to add an element of privacy and noise reduction. Our highly skilled team built a pitched roof extension with Velux windows to the left and right flooding the workspaces of the kitchen and the dining area with light. To the rear, the client wanted us to add a seating area with bifold windows and a large triangular window above to maximise the light and views out to the garden. To take advantage of the beautiful summer evenings in this south facing garden, we installed a lovely patio with direct access to the extension via large bifold doors the full width of the property. The new kitchen was installed along one side with a large island in the centre in order to create more storage space. The new extension was integrated with the existing property, which was also renovated creating a seamless transition from the traditional Victorian style of the rest of the property through to the modern extension.
