Construction in Little Stanmore: local homes and constraints

Little Stanmore covers the area around Canons Park and Whitchurch Lane, where St Lawrence Whitchurch is linked with the composer Handel. Homes in Little Stanmore include 1930s semis and detached houses.

With 1930s semis, a hip-to-gable loft conversion and a rear extension can transform the space, and both need careful structural design.

What approvals does construction in Little Stanmore need?

Most construction projects in Little Stanmore need Building Regulations approval, and many also need planning permission. New houses always need full planning permission, while some extensions can use permitted development.

Planning applications in Little Stanmore are decided by Harrow Council.

If the work affects a shared wall or involves digging near a neighbour's foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies too; see our guide to the Party Wall Act and the GOV.UK guide to Building Regulations approval.

We line up approvals, structural calculations and any party wall notices before work starts; see how our build process works.

Construction in Little Stanmore: frequently asked questions

Do you cover Little Stanmore?

Yes. Little Stanmore is about 12 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Stone Grove and Stanmore.

Can a 1930s house in Little Stanmore take a double-storey extension?

Often, yes, if the plot allows. A two-storey side extension always needs planning permission, and the design has to work with the existing hipped roof and the neighbouring house.

Can you build a new house in Little Stanmore?

Yes. We build bespoke new homes, starting with a consultation on layout, specification and finishes. A new house needs full planning permission from Harrow Council and Building Regulations approval, and we build to the approved drawings.

Can you remove a load-bearing wall?

Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall needs a structural engineer's calculations for the new beam and Building Regulations approval. We prop the structure safely, install the beam on padstones and make good, so the room is ready to decorate.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

If the work affects a shared wall, or you dig foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour's building (6 metres in some cases), the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies. You must serve notice: 2 months before work on a party wall and 1 month before excavations.
