Barnet Planning Applications and Architectural Services

Architectural Services Barnet

Barnet – a mainly residential area and one of the largest boroughs in Greater London.

From its southern limits at Brent Cross and Finchley, Barnet stretches north towards the M25 and Hertfordshire.

Standing between Wembley and Harrow in the west and Wood Green and Enfield in the east, Barnet is London’s second most populous borough.

With roots in southern Hertfordshire and historic Middlesex, the modern borough was formed in 1965 and has its own distinct character – very much London and predominantly suburban.

Names that conjure the essence of suburban north London

Within its boundaries Barnet encompasses Barnet and New Barnet, Whetstone, Finchley, North Finchley, Edgeware, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Hendon and parts of Cricklewood.

It’s an extensive area, and one where there is considerable variety of property type, and good opportunities for residential improvements.

An open approach to Planning makes Barnet an attractive borough

As architectural designers in Barnet, and with our planning specialism as well, we are struck by two things in Barnet.

First, there is a very effective fast-track Planning application process, known as Barnet Premium Service. The approach for our London architectural design service is focused on being organised and prepared which fits well with this, and we’ve found the application process very useful.

Planning policies in Barnet

Second, the Planning authority takes a flexible approach to their Planning Policies, so there is often room to negotiate. This fits well with the housing stock and the many large homes of character with good sized gardens both front and rear.

With Barnet architects, there is real scope for imaginative design and the Planning authority comes to each application with an open mind.

Our Latest Projects.

For the past decade or so it has often been said that it is becoming harder to move home: housing remains expensive and continues to get more costly in popular areas.

The process of moving is expensive too, and often stressful. We, on the other hand, have a solution and go by the phrase of, “Don’t move, improve!”.

How do I choose the right architects in Barnet for my project?

When you’re looking at architectural services in North London, it’s important to figure out what you’re looking for – from just advice to architectural design plans, at Divi Design, we can be on board to help. The more detail we know about what you need can help us pair you with the right architect for your project.

It’s then important to check whether the architect you want to work with has all the relevant qualifications and their architectural design matches your vision.

How do I hire a Barnet architect?

In your first meeting with a prospective architect, you should chat through your goals, scope of work, budget and schedule for the project, alongside any special requirements that you may have. It’s then crucial that the architect walks you through the process from consultation to final execution.

The architect should also let you know what they require from you. This could include deeds among other things.
