Planning permission drawings, heritage-sensitive extensions, and building regulations for Pimlico's Regency stucco terraces and mansion flats. MCIAT chartered, fixed fees, Westminster heritage expertise built in.
Pimlico sits in the SW1 postcode within the City of Westminster, south of Victoria and north of the Thames. The neighbourhood's iconic white stucco Regency and Victorian terraces — largely the work of Thomas Cubitt — sit within near-complete conservation area coverage.
Pimlico Conservation Area: Covers the historic core. Article 4 Directions remove PD rights. Stucco facades are particularly protected — colour, detail, and maintenance regimes are all controlled. Heritage Statements accompany every application.
Regency terraces: Thomas Cubitt's white stucco terraces are the defining built form. Rear extensions, loft conversions, and basement works are possible but all require planning permission. Rear elevations are typically brick; alterations must respect this distinction.
Mansion blocks: Pimlico has a significant mansion block stock. Flat reconfigurations, window replacements, and balcony additions require planning permission and freeholder consent.
Churchill Gardens estate: This post-war estate has its own planning considerations as a recognised example of mid-century housing.

Rear extensions, loft conversions, and basement works are all possible subject to heritage constraints. Every scheme requires planning permission. We prepare heritage-sensitive applications.
