Home Extensions in Brixton & Herne Hill
Brixton and Herne Hill have undergone remarkable transformation, becoming some of South London's most vibrant and desirable neighbourhoods. The area's Victorian and Edwardian terraces — many with generous rear gardens and untouched loft spaces — offer excellent potential for extensions. With property values rising steadily, extending your home here makes financial sense.
Transforming Homes Across Brixton & Herne Hill
Lambeth Council's planning policies are generally supportive of well-designed extensions. Most terraced properties in Brixton can benefit from permitted development for single-storey rear extensions without needing a full planning application. For loft conversions, rear dormers are typically acceptable in most streets. Our architects handle all the paperwork and liaise directly with Lambeth's planning team.
