    FAQs


    Do I need planning permission in Camden?

    Almost always. Most extensions, alterations, and basement works require consent, particularly in Conservation Areas.


    Can you extend or modernise a listed property?

    Yes, but it requires a sensitive approach and robust heritage justification.


    Is basement development possible in Camden?

    Yes, but Camden applies some of London’s strictest policies, requiring structural and hydrological documentation.


    Do you work with developers as well as homeowners?

    Absolutely. From small backland sites to mixed-use schemes, we balance design ambition with commercial viability.


    How long does planning take?

    Typically 8–12 weeks, though more complex heritage or multi-unit schemes may require additional consultation time.


    Can you integrate sustainability upgrades?

    Yes. From insulation and airtightness to discreet renewable systems, we design for energy efficiency without compromising aesthetics.


    Are you only Camden Architects?

    No. We operate in many North London areas and surrounding areas, see them here. We also sometimes go further if you have a project that is intriguing – let us know.

      Dor has been incredible to work with on our renovation. He is extremely thorough, very reachable, attentive to detail, and really listens. He and his team put extra care into their work and come to the table organised with well-thought-out questions. We feel we’re in safe hands moving into construction because everything has been planned to such detail ahead of time, with clear direction, problem-solving, and great communication between all teams involved. For any future project, we’re definitely coming back to Dor! 😍
