Building Control
Newham Building Control handles its own inspections in-house — booking lead time is typically 3-5 working days. Approved Inspectors (private BCBs) are also used widely across E13, E15 and E16.
Conservation & Article 4
Newham has 22 conservation areas including Maryland, West Ham Lane and Manor Park. Article 4 directions removing permitted development rights apply in parts of Forest Gate and Plaistow — check the council's conservation area map before assuming PD.
Local quirks that move the price
Most terraced streets need a parking suspension (£40-80/day) and a CPZ dispensation for the skip. Party-wall agreements are needed on ~70% of extensions due to terraced/semi density. Clay soil east of the River Lea regularly requires 1.5 m+ trenches or piled foundations.
