Hertsmere Borough Council
Governing Council
Planning applications, prior approvals and Lawful Development Certificates for Potters Bar (EN6) are decided by the Hertsmere Borough Council. We check its current local plan and design guidance before drawings are finalised.
Permitted Development Realities
Loft conversions can typically add up to 40m³ of roof space on terraced houses and 50m³ on semi-detached and detached houses. Single-storey rear extensions can usually project 3m (attached) or 4m (detached) under standard rights, extending to 6m or 8m through the prior approval process. Flats, maisonettes, front or side-facing dormers and anything beyond these limits need full planning permission.
Conservation Areas & Article 4
Conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions remove or restrict Permitted Development rights. Where they apply we prepare the correct planning or listed building consent route, with materials and detailing matched to the street's character.
Permitted Development limits are summarised from national rules; every property is confirmed at survey.
