Design & Build for Greenwich Homeowners
Greenwich runs from the Thames path at Woolwich and Charlton, through Blackheath and Westcombe Park, out to the 1930s Tudor-style streets of Eltham and the newer estates around Kidbrooke and Thamesmead. It is also home to a World Heritage Site, which shapes what can happen on streets nearby.
Whether you're planning a project in Greenwich Town Centre, Blackheath, Charlton or elsewhere in Greenwich, Alpha London Builders handles everything in-house: survey, design, planning liaison with Royal Borough of Greenwich where needed, construction and final sign-off.
Planning Considerations for Design & Build in Greenwich
Maritime Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the area around it, along with Blackheath, Charlton Village, Eltham and other parts of the Royal Borough, is covered by conservation areas, so external changes there are looked at more closely than in an ordinary suburban street. Listed buildings need listed building consent for almost any alteration. Houses close to the Thames may sit in a tidal flood zone, which can add a flood risk assessment to an application. Away from those areas, most houses keep standard permitted development rights for rear extensions and rear dormers, though flats and maisonettes never do.
Before we quote any design & build project, our builders in Greenwich check your specific address against Royal Borough of Greenwich's conservation area and Article 4 register, so the quote and timeline we give you already accounts for the correct planning route.

Heritage-aware planning: Around Maritime Greenwich, Blackheath and Charlton Village we check conservation area and listing status before any drawing is started.
