Architectural Drawings in Whitton | Fixed-Fee Plans

No Article 4 Direction covers Richmond upon Thames, which keeps the Whitton permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. Officers see Whitton as 1930s semi-detached — design that ignores it struggles. Conservation status changes the Whitton route entirely — Hampton Wick being the usual case among the 72 designations in Richmond upon Thames. Every Whitton enquiry starts with that check.

Before drawing anything for Whitton, we check Article 4 directions against the TW2 boundary. Everything on a Whitton scheme is measured from the 1930s semi-detached outward. The borough policy layer over every TW2 address is set out on Richmond upon Thames planning. The Whitton survey then carries into loft conversion drawings in Whitton if the project runs on to construction.

The Whitton clock does not start until London Borough of Richmond upon Thames validates — one to two weeks. A Whitton project opens with an on-site laser survey, which is what makes the later Richmond Council submission robust against a validation query.

Statutory periods: 8 weeks from validation for a householder application, 13 weeks for a major scheme, 6 weeks for prior approval with a 21 days neighbour consultation, and 5 weeks for a full plans building control submission. A party structure notice requires one month notice and two months where excavation is involved.

Neighbour consultation on a Whitton case runs 21 days from registration. You get the full Whitton set as PDFs, plus CAD on request.

On Whitton terraces the objection to expect is loss of light to a rear window. Levels between front and rear of a Whitton house are recorded, not assumed.

The party wall step is not optional on shared Whitton walls, and serving late is what stalls sites. Once consent is granted, house extension drawings follows for the TW2 property.

Whitton is characterised by 1930s semi-detached, concentrated across TW2 in the Twickenham / Whitton area. The 1930s semi-detached is the constraint that shapes most Whitton projects, long before policy enters the picture. Applied to TW2 property: 1930s semis here are dimensionally consistent, so the survey is quick and the drawings come back inside the shorter end of the window. On Richmond upon Thames stock it changes the party wall position. Ridge and eaves lines along Whitton streets are the reference Richmond Council uses.

A TW2 dig turns on engineering more than on policy. If the TW2 job later needs planning permission for TW2 properties or building regulations drawings, the existing drawings already carry the measurements.

What the Whitton drawing pack contains

The Whitton pack below is what Richmond Council and a builder both need.

• laser measured survey for the Whitton property
• existing floor plans at 1:50
• proposed floor plans
• all elevations
• site and location plans

Streets and landmarks we survey around Whitton

• Richmond Park — side returns where the 45-degree amenity test decides how far a Richmond Park extension goes.
• Crane Park — shared flank walls, so Crane Park party structure notices go out before work starts.
• Whitton Park — frontages visible from the highway, so Hampton Wick materials detail governs the Whitton Park elevation.
• Kew Gardens — roof profiles that set the ridge datum Richmond Council measures a Kew Gardens dormer against.
• Bushy Park — roof profiles that set the ridge datum Richmond Council measures a Bushy Park dormer against.
• Whitton station — it fixes the local datum a Whitton roof extension is judged against.
• Twickenham Cemetery — nearby 1930s semi-detached takes its scale from this frontage.
• Twickenham School — proposals in its setting are drawn with the Whitton context elevation.
• Academy School — proposals in its setting are drawn with the Whitton context elevation.
• Turing House School — it fixes the local datum a Whitton roof extension is judged against.

Getting to a Whitton survey

Surveyors travel to TW2 addresses from the studio; the nearest stations are Whitton, London Waterloo station, Windsor & Eton Riverside, Hounslow. Appointments are booked in Whitton on weekdays and Saturdays, and the measured survey of a standard 1930s semi-detached takes two to three hours.

Where Whitton sits

on Ordnance Survey grid reference TQ145735, with the River Crane shaping drainage and flood-risk questions on lower-lying TW2 plots. Every Whitton application opens with a location plan tied to that grid square; get it wrong and Richmond Council returns the submission unvalidated. Source.

Practical detail for a Whitton submission: the closest stations to a TW2 site are Whitton and London Waterloo station and Windsor & Eton Riverside and Hounslow; correspondence uses TWICKENHAM; dialling code 020. Site plans are drawn to the address as Richmond Council holds it.

Areas we cover around Whitton

Whitton sits in a patch that also takes in Tonsleys (SW18), Nightingale Triangle (SW12), Roehampton (SW15), Fulham (SW6), Hammersmith (W6), Shepherd's Bush (W12), and we work all of it as far as the Kingston upon Thames boundary.

The figure is agreed before the survey and does not move. The variables on a TW2 job are structural: party walls, floor levels, and whether the Hampton Wick designation adds a heritage statement.

Statutory application fees are set by regulation, not by the council: £548 householder, £610 for a new dwelling, £274 for a lawful development certificate, £249 for prior approval.

The statutory element is payable to London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, not to us. London planning approval-rate dataset · Richmond upon Thames planning · architectural drawings in London · architectural drawings in Tonsleys.

The technologist drawing your Whitton scheme is MCIAT chartered — the professional body for technical design and building-regulations competence. Not every Whitton scheme is clear-cut. Where Hampton Wick or the Whitton station setting is in play, Richmond Council pre-application advice comes before the TW2 submission.

Drawings are produced by chartered members of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (MCIAT), the professional body for technical design and building-regulations competence. First-time approval across our London caseload is 98%. Statutory fees shown are those in force in England in 2026 under the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications) Regulations. Confirm your local authority at gov.uk and submission requirements on the Planning Portal. Studio: 71–75 Shelton Street, London WC2H 9JQ.
