New Builds for Richmond Homeowners
Richmond upon Thames is greener and more protected than most of London: Georgian and Victorian streets around Richmond, Twickenham and Teddington, villages like Ham, Petersham and Kew, and a long stretch of riverside. People come here for the setting, and the planning system exists to keep it that way.
Whether you're planning a project in Richmond, Kew, Barnes or elsewhere in Richmond, Alpha London Builders handles everything in-house: survey, design, planning liaison with Richmond upon Thames Council where needed, construction and final sign-off.
Planning Considerations for New Builds in Richmond
Richmond upon Thames has a large number of conservation areas and a long list of locally listed Buildings of Townscape Merit, so the character of the street counts at planning. Large parts of the borough are Metropolitan Open Land or Green Belt, including around Richmond Park, and the Thames riverside brings flood risk and views policy. Listed buildings need consent for almost any change. Houses outside the protected areas keep standard permitted development rights for rear extensions and dormers, but flats never do.
Before we quote any new builds project, our builders in Richmond check your specific address against Richmond upon Thames Council's conservation area and Article 4 register, so the quote and timeline we give you already accounts for the correct planning route.
