High-end residential building services in Tottenham.

The Construction Collective delivers fully managed building projects across Tottenham and the wider N17 area. Our directors and site managers bring over 25 years of combined industry experience. From single-storey rear extensions built under Permitted Development to loft conversions, structural alterations and complete interior refurbishments, we understand the local property stock and what it takes to deliver a build properly. Every project is fully managed from design to completion — one team, one point of contact, zero stress.

Tottenham's terraces, semis and converted properties offer real potential for extra ground-floor space and additional bedrooms in the roof. We design structural alterations with a structural engineer, handle building control from notice through to sign-off, and deliver turnkey interior refits with a clear programme and a fixed price agreed before we start on site.

Local Technical Guidance

Local Planning & Building Control in Tottenham

London Borough of Haringey

Governing Council

Planning applications, prior approvals and Lawful Development Certificates for Tottenham (N17) are decided by the London Borough of Haringey. 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.
