PLANNING AND BUILDING REGULATIONS IN CHIGWELL
Chigwell is in Essex and falls under Epping Forest District Council, not a London borough. Much of the land around Chigwell is Metropolitan Green Belt, which affects how much a property can be extended, and the historic centre around the village is a conservation area. Permitted development may still cover some extensions, but on larger or more prominent homes a planning application is often the safer route. We’ll look at your property early, advise on the likely approach and work with your architect, planning consultant and building control.
