If your home is in Camden
Camden has 40 conservation areas, covering about half of the borough.
SourceDormers should be subordinate to the roof slope, sit within it and keep even distances to the ridge, eaves and side parapet walls; rear extensions should pass the 45-degree and 25-degree daylight tests and leave a reasonably sized garden (Home Improvements CPG, 2021).
SourceBasements should be no more than one storey, cover no more than 50% of each garden, extend into the garden no further than 50% of the depth of the house from the main rear wall, and be less than 1.5 times the house's footprint (Local Plan policy A5, 2017).
