Hi


I live in a top floor flat with a flat roof, and am desperate for some outdoor space. I have looked at moving, but cannot afford anywhere remotely nearby with a garden. So, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience of applying for planning permission for a roof terrace. My property faces the side of rows of houses, rather than toward the back of them so cant see into windows etc, and I live a few doors down from commercial premises that have a flat rood with access. It would be great to be able to step out onto a (small!) roof terrace, but wonder if it would just be a waste of time even applying for permission from Southwark council?

A nearby neighbour is having one built. First proposal was rejected but 2nd one accepted. I think it's all about the degree of intrusiveness. With the right plans you may well be successful. Another neighbour built one a few years ago and I'm pretty certain they didn't bother with planning permission. Not suggesting taking that route. Just surprised they got away with it.
Hi, I am a town planner, I recently got planning permission for a roof terrace in East Dulwich and am working on another in Clapham. The main issues are overlooking neighbouring gardens and windows, and whether you will be overlooked yourself when on the terrace. If this won't happen then permission may well be granted. Happy to discuss further if you send me a PM.

Thanks for the input everyone. The terrace would be fairly unobtrusive as far as I can tell, particularly if I set back the barrier so that it isnt seen/cant see any of the gardens below. Even as it stands, it doesnt really overlook anyone.


Asherplanning, I may send you a PM after my architect friend has got back to me if thats ok?

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
