Extension and Loft conversion Minet Gardens
A side-to-rear extension for the ground-floor flat and a hip-to-gable loft conversion for the flat above, coordinated together at 1 Minet Gardens in Brent.
Project overview
The Project
The two flats at 1 Minet Gardens, NW10, needed different kinds of extra space. The ground-floor brief was a single-storey side-to-rear extension; the first-floor brief was a hip-to-gable loft conversion with a rear dormer and chimney removal.
AC Design Solution handled the planning applications, structural engineering, Building Regulations drawings and Party Wall surveying for both flats. The work had to progress together against a bridging-finance deadline, making coordination between the two schemes a central part of the appointment.

Planning strategy
Planning & Heritage
Two planning approvals were secured from Brent Council, with no objections received. Keeping the applications coordinated allowed the team to consider how the ground-floor addition and roof changes related to the same existing building.
Engineering coordination
Structural Engineering
The technical scope covered the structure of the ground-floor extension as well as the altered roof and chimney removal for the upper flat. Our structural drawings and calculations were prepared alongside the architectural information for both flats.
Consent and delivery
Project Outcome
The project combined two planning applications and two sets of alterations within one end-of-terrace property. For a comparable house-wide combination of rear and roof additions, see Wrottesley Road. Our loft conversion drawings page explains the drawing scope for roof alterations.
