Barnet is one of London’s largest boroughs, known for its suburban character, conservation areas, and strict design guidance. Planning can be challenging due to prescriptive rules on extensions, roof alterations, and backland development. Local expertise is essential because Barnet frequently rejects proposals that fail to respect character, scale, or amenity standards.
