What working in Totteridge actually involves
Totteridge is one of the few places in London where genuinely large plots still change hands, and where a bespoke new house or a major replacement dwelling is a realistic brief.
The Totteridge Village conservation area and the green belt land behind it mean design quality is not optional here. Schemes succeed on materials, massing and landscape, not on floor area alone.

Planning
Planning policy in Totteridge
The constraints we test before design begins, not after a refusal.
- The London Borough of Barnet determines applications and applies its own residential design guidance.
- Totteridge Village conservation area controls frontages, materials, boundary treatment and tree work.
- Green Belt covers land around the village, so new homes come mainly through replacement dwellings.
- Basement policy in Barnet sets tests on excavation, drainage and neighbour impact, with party wall awards to plan into the programme.
- Extensive tree cover means Tree Preservation Orders and root protection areas frequently shape foundation design.
