First‑Floor Rear Extension – Cambridge Drive, Potters Bar
Detailed Planning achieved planning permission for a modest first‑floor rear extension to a semi‑detached home on Cambridge Drive in the Borough of Hertsmere. The proposal enlarges the existing rear projection by building over it at first‑floor level to provide a more generous bedroom and an improved bathroom, while maintaining the existing footprint at ground level. The extension features a pitched roof that ties neatly into the host roof and uses matching brickwork and fenestration so it blends seamlessly with the original house. Our drawings included existing and proposed floor plans, roof plans, elevations and sections, demonstrating that the extension sits comfortably below the ridge line, does not overbear neighbouring properties and complies with local design guidance. This approval allows the homeowners to create better‑proportioned accommodation for their growing family without compromising the character of the street.
