What we know about building in Essex
Housing stock
Large detached houses in Chigwell and Loughton, 1930s semis in Romford and Ilford, Victorian terraces in Leyton and Walthamstow on the London fringe, and rural cottages and barns across the county.
Planning and permitted development
Epping Forest District is heavily Green Belt with strict extension limits, while Brentwood and Chelmsford are more permissive for householder extensions. Conservation areas in Epping, Chipping Ongar and Ingatestone need full planning for external work.

- Can you extend a house in the Epping Forest Green Belt?
- Yes, within limits. Epping Forest District Council generally allows extensions of up to around 50% of the original dwelling's floor area. We measure the original house, calculate what is available and design to the limit.
