Conservation areas covering Teddington: Richmond Council runs 72, and Twickenham Riverside, Barnes Village, Ham Common are the ones Teddington owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Teddington conservation area loses permitted development, so the Teddington submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Richmond Green a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.

Teddington permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Richmond Council, so a drawing package at a TW11 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £129 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Teddington sale to argue it later.
