Stoke Newington is Victorian terraces around Clissold Park and Stoke Newington Church Street, Georgian houses on Church Street itself, and Edwardian terraces towards Stamford Hill. Rear and side-return kitchen extensions with garden glazing are the typical Stoke Newington project, plus rear extensions to garden flats.
Budget guidance for Stoke Newington: expect £2,500–£4,000 per m² for a single-storey extension, which puts a 25–30 m² kitchen extension at £75,000–£120,000; two-storey and wraparound schemes are priced on the structure involved (see our house extension cost guide). The Stoke Newington Conservation Area, which takes in Church Street, and the Clissold Park Conservation Area cover parts of N16, so permitted development rights vary street by street. Where approval from Hackney Council is needed, our design team, working with your architect or ours, prepares and submits the application.

Common questions about building in Stoke Newington
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Stoke Newington?
Houses (not flats or maisonettes) keep national permitted development rights for a single-storey rear extension of 3m attached or 4m detached, up to 6m or 8m through prior approval, and most rear dormers within 40 cubic metres on a terrace or 50 elsewhere. Hackney Council's Stoke Newington, Clissold Park, Northwold and Cazenove, Lordship Park, Brownswood and Newington Green (North) conservation areas cover parts of N16. Single-storey rear rights remain there, but side extensions, two-storey rear extensions, cladding and roof additions need permission. Stoke Newington and Clissold Park have no Article 4 direction; Brownswood's 2025 direction removes most householder rights.
What does Hackney Council expect for a basement in Stoke Newington?
Hackney's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD, adopted in December 2025 and in effect from January 2026, covers basements. A basement should be less than 1.5 times the footprint of the house and should extend into the rear garden by no more than half the depth of the house. The same document says single-storey rear extensions should keep at least half of the original garden, which matters on the deep Victorian gardens around Clissold Park.
What does a dormer loft conversion cost in Stoke Newington?
On Stoke Newington's Victorian terraces a rear dormer loft conversion typically costs £45,000–£75,000 and an L-shaped dormer £55,000–£85,000, both including VAT. Hackney's guidance accepts rear dormers within set distances from the ridge, eaves and roof edges, which shapes the room size. Our dormer loft conversion cost guide shows what each figure covers.
