Crouch End: drawings for conservation area homes

More than one Haringey conservation area reaches the Crouch End neighbourhood, and not every one has a current appraisal to read. We check the address against each, then draw planning, listed building and Building Regulations sets to the policy and the street, after a free constraints check.

    04The brief

    More than one designation

    Haringey designated the Crouch End Conservation Area first, and the neighbouring areas that reach into the district came later. Which of them covers your house decides which direction and which appraisal the officer cites.

    Haringey's list marks one of those neighbouring areas "No current adopted appraisal". Where that is the case we read the policy, the street and the neighbours' frontages in place of an appraisal, and we show the evidence on the sheet.

    05The detail

    What Haringey's wider record tells us

    Across Haringey the register shows 33 conservation areas and 25 Article 4 directions. A direction withdraws permitted development rights for named works, so a front window, boundary wall or roof change on a Crouch End street may need an application where the same work next door does not.

    Where an appraisal exists we cite it, and where a direction applies we quote its wording in the covering letter. The officer then sees which document each change answers.

    Listed buildings and loft work

    Haringey records 289 list entries, 6 at Grade I and 21 at Grade II*. Its latest year shows 52 listed building consent decisions, with 86.5% granted.

    For a listed house, see listed building consent drawings. Loft and roof changes sit under mansard roof drawings, and Muswell Hill shows how Haringey reads an appraised suburb.

    Questions

    Is my Crouch End house in a conservation area?

    Several Haringey conservation areas reach the Crouch End neighbourhood, and the boundaries follow particular streets. Send us the address and we check it, together with listed status and Article 4 directions, before quoting.

    What if my Crouch End area has no appraisal?

    The officer then relies on policy and the character of the street. We draw the case from the neighbouring frontages and name the policies in the covering letter.

    Can I put a dormer on the front of my Crouch End terrace?

    Front-slope dormers are the change officers resist hardest in a conservation area. A rear dormer or a rear-led loft scheme is the usual route, drawn so nothing new reads from the street. We test the slope against the neighbouring roofs before choosing.

    My Crouch End house is listed. Where do I begin?

    With the list entry itself, because it says what is protected, inside as well as out. We read it, draw the house as it stands and prepare the consent application from that. Our listed building consent drawings page explains the sheets involved. A loft or mansard on the same house is priced from £845.
