Planning permission drawings, internal reconfigurations, and building regulations for Surrey Quays' new-build and dockland apartments. MCIAT chartered, fixed fees, Southwark planning expertise built in.
Surrey Quays sits in the SE16 postcode within the London Borough of Southwark, on the former dock basin south of Rotherhithe. The neighbourhood has been redeveloped since the 1980s with dockland housing and is currently subject to the Canada Water masterplan — one of central London's largest live regeneration schemes.
New-build apartments: The majority of Surrey Quays residential is new-build or late 20th-century. Internal reconfigurations need freeholder and estate consent. Building Regulations approval is essential.
Canada Water masterplan: The ongoing redevelopment will add thousands of new homes. Southwark has published detailed policy guidance. Major alterations require consultation with the masterplan team.
Dockland housing: Some 1980s/90s dockland housing has distinctive architectural character. Alterations should respect the original design.
Period edges: Streets at the edges towards Rotherhithe include period terraces with heritage considerations.
