Reading Barnet's decisions for a Totteridge plot
Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 Sep 2026), shows 80% of those 1,361 householder decisions, which include prior approvals, were granted, and that 95% of the householder decisions excluding prior approvals were made within 8 weeks. These are borough figures and say nothing specific about N20.
Eight weeks, beginning with the day after receipt, is the statutory period for an application that is not major development (DMPO 2015, article 34).
Designations to check

Check Barnet Council's conservation area map, or ask the council, to see whether your address is inside one and read the guide to conservation-area extension rules.
Extensions also raise questions about neighbouring windows. This page does not offer a daylight assessment; our drawings give the heights and distances such an assessment depends on.

What we draw and the fees
For a Totteridge house we draw every plan to a stated scale, north marked, because national guidance requires it (Planning practice guidance, Making an application). Barnet takes £548 for a householder application from 1 April 2026. Our planning drawings start from £745; see the guide to planning permission for a double-storey extension.
