New Builds in Croydon

New Builds for Croydon Homeowners

Croydon is one of the most populous boroughs in London, and the houses change a lot between the town centre and the southern edge. Around East Croydon, Addiscombe and South Norwood you find Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas. Sanderstead, Selsdon and Shirley are mostly 1930s semis, and Purley and Coulsdon mix both with larger detached plots. We survey, quote and build in all of them.

Whether you're planning a project in Croydon Town Centre, Sanderstead, Selsdon or elsewhere in Croydon, Alpha London Builders handles everything in-house: survey, design, planning liaison with Croydon Council where needed, construction and final sign-off.

Planning Considerations for New Builds in Croydon

Croydon has 21 conservation areas. Chatsworth Road, The Waldrons and Kenley Aerodrome have Article 4 directions, which take away some of the usual permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application there, such as changes to roofs, windows or front boundaries, may need planning permission. Outside those areas, most houses in Croydon keep their standard rights for single-storey rear extensions and rear dormers, but flats and maisonettes never have them. We check your exact address against the council's maps before we price anything.

Before we quote any new builds project, our builders in Croydon check your specific address against Croydon Council's conservation area and Article 4 register, so the quote and timeline we give you already accounts for the correct planning route.
