Home Extensions in Waltham Cross
A town on the Hertfordshire and Essex border beside the River Lea, best known for the medieval Eleanor Cross. Waltham Cross has Victorian terraces near the centre and a lot of 1930s and post-war housing, sitting between Cheshunt and Waltham Abbey beside the River Lea.
Interwar semis and detached houses often have deep gardens, which gives room for a rear or side extension. Interwar semis and detached houses frequently have hipped roofs and reasonable ridge heights, which gives a surveyor more design options than a typical modern roof. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
Planning and approvals for home extensions in Waltham Cross
Waltham Cross is in the Broxbourne Borough, so planning applications go to Broxbourne Borough Council. Many single-storey rear extensions can be built under permitted development within the depth and height limits, while side, two-storey and larger projects may need a planning application or a neighbour consultation.
