Philip and Louise Allard at home in Islington
(Picture: Juliet Murphy)Normally, building an extension won’t win you any favours with the people next door. But Louise and Philip Allard have surely remained in favour with their neighbours thanks to Philip’s job as a planning consultant.
Rather than apply just for their own mansard roof extension in 2019, the couple submitted a pre-application for the entire street, meaning that when any of their Kiver Road neighbours decide to build on top of their Victorian terraced homes, their planning application is guaranteed to be approved by Islington council.
