Why Kidbrooke needs a specialist

Kidbrooke is regenerated quarter, new-build estate. The streetscape is dominated by new-build, post-war fragments, which means design decisions — roofscape, rear glazing, side returns, mansards — must respect the period rhythm of the row. Greenwich planning (Greenwich Council) decides applications here. Most permitted development rights apply normally in Greenwich for residential extensions.
