Stratford mixes Victorian terraces in the older streets with the new-build apartments and townhouses around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The Victorian houses take a rear dormer or side-return extension well; the newer homes usually need internal refurbishment or a design that works within the estate’s rules.
We cover E15 and E20 in the London Borough of Newham. Newham has been active on Article 4 directions and selective licensing, so it is worth checking the planning position early, particularly for houses in multiple occupation. We do that at the survey and handle any application.
Loft conversions and house extensions in Stratford
Stratford’s proximity to the Olympic Park and the transport links makes it popular with landlords and buy-to-let investors, so we often combine a refurbishment with a loft conversion to add a lettable room, or carry out fire and security work to bring a rental property up to standard.
Do you need planning permission in Stratford?
Most rear dormers and single-storey extensions on Stratford’s Victorian terraces are permitted development, but Article 4 directions and selective licensing in parts of Newham can change the route. Double-storey extensions and new-build estates need an application. We confirm what applies to your property at the survey.
