Barnsbury, located in the heart of Islington, is a picturesque neighbourhood known for its charming streets and diverse architectural styles. This area is characterised by a mix of residential properties, including Victorian and Georgian terraced houses, elegant mansion blocks, and modern developments. The unique blend of architecture contributes to Barnsbury's appeal, making it a sought-after location for families and professionals alike.
Barnsbury is home to many listed buildings that reflect its rich history. The area boasts numerous examples of Georgian and Victorian architecture, with well-preserved facades that add character to the streetscape. Notable listed properties include the beautiful Barnsbury Square, which features stunning period homes surrounding a tranquil garden space. The presence of these historic buildings not only enhances the aesthetic value of the neighbourhood but also places specific requirements on property owners looking to make alterations or extensions.
Given the architectural significance of Barnsbury, navigating the planning system can be complex. Homeowners looking to extend their properties or undertake renovations must comply with stringent local policies designed to preserve the character of the area. This includes obtaining planning permission for any significant changes, such as extensions or conversions.

Elie gave me invaluable advice, which in turn saved me a lot of time and money. He has the patience of a saint! I changed my mind numerous times and he adapted the plans straight away (as long as my request was conducive), and his charges are very competitive, he's also dedicated so you can't go wrong by selecting his company.
J.F Cardella
Exceptional service, solid knowledge, no nonsense, fast turnaround without cutting corners, they are definitely on top of their game. If you have a complex planning project or planning issues they will do whatever it takes to help you resolve it. How refreshing?! Very impressed by Elie's approach and knowledge but the entire team is first class.
