TW11 is Teddington, midway between Twickenham and Hampton, a village-feel district of Victorian and Edwardian terraces where homeowners regularly weigh a rear extension, a side return or a loft conversion to add bedrooms and a bigger kitchen.

Several conservation areas overlap the outcode, from the High Street and Broad Street cores to Teddington Lock and Park Road, and with an Article 4 direction on Clarence Road a boundary check is essential before treating any scheme as permitted development.

Planning in Teddington (TW11): what to know before you apply

Away from the conservation areas and Article 4 streets, many rear and loft projects proceed under permitted development within the usual limits. Inside a Teddington conservation area, or on Clarence Road where Article 4 applies, expect a full householder application for works to elevations, roofs or boundaries.

Typical Teddington housing stock

Teddington runs to Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis on streets such as Manor Road and Cambridge Road, with the older village core and riverside cottages near Teddington Lock and larger villas towards Broom Water.

House Extension Drawings for Teddington (TW11) homes: the package and the process

Every house extension drawings we prepare for an Teddington property is drawn to London Borough of Richmond upon Thames’s validation standards and tuned to the TW11 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.

A well-drawn extension adds space and value while sailing through the council; a poorly-drawn one triggers objections and refusals. DrawingsDirect draws rear, side-return, wraparound, double-storey and basement extensions for London homes — sized to your borough's tolerances, with daylight and neighbour impact considered before the planners raise them.

Which extension types do you draw?

Every London extension is shaped by the plot, the neighbours and the borough's design guidance. We draw them all.

Rear extension

A single-storey rear extension is often permitted development within depth limits — ideal for an open-plan kitchen-diner.

Side-return

Fills the alley beside a Victorian terrace, widening the ground floor without losing garden.

Wraparound

Combines a rear and side-return extension for a transformative ground floor, usually needing planning permission.

Double-storey

Adds space above and below, subject to tighter scale and neighbour-impact scrutiny.

Basement

Creates space downward where footprint is limited, with structural and party-wall care.

Do I need planning permission for a house extension in London?

Single-storey rear extensions within permitted development limits (up to 6m for terraced/semi-detached homes under the larger-home scheme, subject to neighbour consultation) may not need a full application. Wraparounds, double-storeys and anything in a conservation area usually do. We assess your plot and recommend the right route before drawing.

FAQ

House Extension Drawings in Teddington TW11 — FAQs

How far can I extend without planning permission in London?+
Under permitted development, single-storey rear extensions can reach 3m (terraced/semi) or 4m (detached), or up to 6–8m under the prior-approval larger-home scheme — but conservation areas and Article 4 directions can remove these rights. We check your property first.
Do extension drawings include structural calculations?+
Our full package includes structural drawings and calculations coordinated in-house, so your builder can price and build without waiting on an engineer.
How long do extension drawings take?+
Typically about 7 days from survey to a full drawing set delivered to your online portal.
Will my rear extension need a party wall agreement?+
If you build up to or on a shared boundary, excavate near a neighbour's foundations, or cut into a party wall for a steel, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies. Our drawings show the works clearly so a party wall surveyor — or your neighbour — can see exactly what is proposed, which keeps that process quick.
Can I extend a house in a conservation area?+
Yes, but conservation areas and Article 4 directions commonly remove permitted development for rear and side extensions, so the work needs a full householder application designed to the council's heritage guidance. We confirm your property's designation before recommending a route.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Richmond?+
More often than in most boroughs, yes. Richmond has some of the most extensive Article 4 coverage in London, so permitted development cannot be assumed even for modest works — many conservation areas such as Richmond Green, Teddington and Kew Green require a full application. We confirm the exact designation for your address first and design accordingly rather than relying on permitted development.
My Richmond home is near the river — does flood risk affect my application?+
It can. Much of the borough lies within the Thames flood zone, and the council expects flood-risk considerations to be addressed for works near the river in Twickenham, Richmond and Hampton. We evidence flood-risk and finished-floor-level considerations within the application so the council can validate and approve without repeated revisions.
What does Richmond's Article 4 coverage mean in practice?+
Article 4 directions remove permitted development rights across many of Richmond's conservation areas, so alterations that would be automatic elsewhere — dormers, cladding, some rear works — need a full householder application here. We design context-led drawings that respond to the borough's period townscape and river frontage, which is what carries an application to consent in Richmond.
How long does Richmond Council take to decide?+
Richmond determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once validated, though conservation and riverside cases can attract additional consultation. Because so much turns on design detail here, we prepare submissions to the validation checklist with the elevations and materials the council expects, to avoid drawing queries.
How much do planning drawings cost in Richmond?+
We agree a fixed fee before starting, typically around 30% below an architect's fee for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until Richmond approves. Conservation and flood-zone cases require more evidence than a standard extension, so we quote once we understand your address and scheme rather than by the hour.
