What local planning policy applies to a drawing package in Peckham?
Conservation areas covering Peckham: Southwark Council runs 43, and Camberwell Grove, Bermondsey Street, Dulwich Village are the ones Peckham owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Peckham conservation area loses permitted development, so the Peckham submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Peckham Rye a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.
Article 4 and your Peckham drawing package: Article 4 for HMOs borough-wide; additional Article 4 for office-to-residential in Bermondsey and Elephant & Castle. At a SE15 address that matters twice over, because Southwark Council applies the direction unevenly across Peckham — we read the Peckham policies map for the exact SE15 address before quoting architectural drawings.
What Peckham is built from: Georgian and Regency in Bermondsey and Borough; Victorian terraces in Camberwell and Peckham; Dulwich Estate controlled housing; riverside new-build. Dulwich Estate private planning scheme affects much of SE21 and SE22; Southwark planning for rest of borough; strong heritage context. That mix decides the drawing package route in Peckham more than the postcode does. Our fixed fee for architectural drawings in Peckham starts at £840, against £1,750 for the Complete package that carries a Peckham scheme through Southwark Council planning and building regulations together.
