Conservation areas

Hampstead, Belsize Park, Primrose Hill, Kentish Town and Bloomsbury all include large conservation areas with many listed buildings. Front doors and visible elevations are the most sensitive; garden doors at the rear are usually more practical.

Garden flats

In converted houses, the garden flat is usually the only one with direct outdoor access. A flap in the garden door or a replacement glass panel may be possible with the freeholder's consent, and listed building consent if the building is listed.

Questions from homeowners in Camden

I own a leasehold flat. What do I need to check?

Your lease, which usually needs the freeholder's written consent for changes to doors, windows or walls. A flat's front door in a shared building is a fire door and can't take a flap.

Can a flap go in a basement garden door?

Often, yes, with the freeholder's consent. We'll also check the steps up to the garden for a dog flap.

Who handles planning?

Camden Council.
