Should you for example have any last minute
amendments or you have changed your mind, we
will be happy to make it so.
Building extensions to an existing property is not a walk in
park. It entails a broad set of activities but,
more important, is a patience testing decision.
Prices go between £15.000 to £48.000 and it’s
usually the type of decision one makes after considering more than the just the budget involved.
Before anything, it’s a matter of confort or business investment. But it’s also a disruptive set of
activities that can be quite stressing.

When it comes to designing and constructing
a house extension the only limits are the ones
we accept. But, generally speaking, the straight
lines and simple architecture will almost always
win if we’re looking for elegance, tradition and
cost efficiency.
Waltham Forest Council has created a brief guide
to home extensions and alterations and it can be
accessed for free on its website (you will need a
PDF reader).
The document, its said is an ”Extract from
Here is a similar design for two different houses, Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD”
but built with different materials; sourced on adopted in 2010.

and a half-bath at the rear.
This document is a shortened version of Waltham Forest’s Residential
Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (Adopted
February 2010). It is intended to give
residents a brief guide to the design
requirements for extensions and alterations, however it is recommended that
applicants read the full document before submitting an application as Council officers will use the main document
when making a decision on a planning
application.
