Barnet's householder record
The figures here are Barnet's, not Monken Hadley's: our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 Sep 2026), counts 1,361 householder decisions across the borough over the four quarters 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2, including prior approvals. 80% were granted. The rest were not, so the design and the drawings that explain it both count.
The 8 weeks measured here is the statutory period for an application that is not major development, beginning with the day after receipt (DMPO 2015, article 34).
Conservation areas and character

If a protected tree stands on or near your plot, the guide to tree preservation orders and planning explains how a protected tree affects an application.

A note on sunlight and right to light
Neighbours' daylight and sunlight are a common worry with extensions. We do not give a daylight assessment on this page. What we do produce are accurate plans, elevations and sections, and the heights and distances on them are what anyone assessing the effect on a neighbour has to work from.
