Highams Park homes
Highams Park has Edwardian and interwar terraced and semi-detached houses, many with bay windows and front gardens, between the railway and the edge of Epping Forest. Terraces take rear dormers and semis take hip-to-gable loft conversions.
Planning in Highams Park
None of Waltham Forest’s fifteen conservation areas is named after Highams Park, but boundaries do not follow names, so we check the council’s map for each address before relying on permitted development. Waltham Forest does apply a borough-wide Article 4 direction to small houses in multiple occupation.
Lofts and extensions
A rear dormer within 40 cubic metres on a terrace or 50 on a semi, and a single-storey rear extension within 3 metres, can be permitted development, subject to the conditions. We confirm it with a Lawful Development Certificate before work starts.
Waltham Forest planning
Planning applications go to Waltham Forest Council, the same council we work with in Leytonstone, Leyton, Walthamstow and Chingford.
Highams Park, Chingford and Walthamstow
