Extensions and loft conversions within 500 m Map of every extended home within 1 km →

• Barbers Mead: 1 home extended since 2021

Spotted when a home's energy certificate shows at least 15 m² (and 15%) more floor area than an earlier one. Only homes with two certificates show up, so the real number is higher. A busy street suggests extensions get permission here; check the council's planning register for the details.
