Local Challenges
Loft Extensions in Tower Hamlets
In Tower Hamlets, planning policy within conservation areas often dictates the style of loft extension permitted, with a preference for discreet dormers that preserve the roofline. Structurally, the terraced housing stock in areas like Bow and Mile End requires careful consideration of the party walls, which will support the new steel beams. We design these connections to be effective while respecting the shared structure.
