Erection of two storey end of terrace dwelling house in Bexley

Applying for Planning Permission in Bexley: A Successful Case Study

Opportunities for End-of-Terrace Developments

End-of-terrace properties often have untapped potential for development, particularly when there is side land available. With the right planning strategy, property owners can explore the possibility of constructing an additional dwelling on this unused space. 4D Planning, with its recent success in Bexley, has demonstrated how these opportunities can be maximised. In a recent project, 4D Planning helped secure approval from Bexley Council for a two-storey end-of-terrace dwelling alongside an extension of the existing house.

The Process of Securing Planning Permission in Bexley

Applying for planning permission in Bexley involves several steps, from assessing the site’s potential to preparing a robust planning application. 4D Planning begins by conducting a thorough feasibility study to understand the project's viability, considering the site’s constraints, planning policies, and surrounding context.

Once the feasibility is established, the next step is creating detailed architectural plans, which 4D Planning’s in-house architectural technicians handle. These plans are crucial for communicating the proposed development’s design to the local authority. In the case of the Bexley project, 4D Planning ensured that the new dwelling complemented the existing streetscape while adhering to Bexley’s planning guidelines.

Key Considerations for End-of-Terrace Developments

When proposing a new dwelling at the side of an end-of-terrace property, there are several key factors that Bexley Council considers:

• The impact on neighbouring properties in terms of privacy and sunlight.
• The visual relationship between the new dwelling and the existing terrace.
• Compliance with local planning policies, including height, massing, and overall design.

In the successful case at Bexley, 4D Planning addressed these considerations meticulously, ensuring that the new development met all necessary criteria.
