Single storey rear infill extension to doctors surgery approved by Barnet

Single storey rear infill extension approved in Barnet

Barnet Council allows single storey extensions which are in keeping with the character of the property, respect the amenity of neighbours and are subordinate to the host property. The proposed infill rear extension met those requirements. The extension would usually fall under permitted development, however, the property is not a dwelling house (C3 use class), therefore permitted development rights were removed and full planning permission was required. 

Extension to Wakemans Hill Doctors Surgery

The Wakemans Hill Doctors Surgery, located at 1 Wakemans Hill Avenue, London, NW9 0TA, has recently received planning approval from Barnet Council for a significant extension. This development aims to provide additional space for the practice, enabling it to grow and enhance its services for the local community.

4D Planning’s Role in the Project

4D Planning was instructed to produce the necessary drawings and planning application for this extension. Our team worked closely with the surgery to understand their needs and the requirements set forth by Barnet Council. The proposed extension will create a more functional environment, allowing the practice to accommodate more patients and improve overall service delivery within the NHS framework.

In addition to preparing the planning application, 4D Planning also produced detailed Building Regulations drawings. These drawings were essential in demonstrating full compliance with local building standards and regulations. Our expertise ensured that all aspects of the extension met the necessary criteria for safety and functionality.

Ensuring Compliance with Building Control

The successful submission of the Building Regulations drawings allowed for a smooth process in obtaining sign-off from Building Control. This step is crucial in ensuring that the extension not only meets aesthetic goals but also adheres to health and safety regulations, providing a safe environment for both staff and patients.

The extension at Wakemans Hill Doctors Surgery represents a significant step forward in enhancing healthcare provision in the area. With the support of 4D Planning, this project is set to improve facilities and expand services, ultimately benefiting the local community.
