Architectural drawings in Tooting

Tooting sits in the heart of the London Borough of Wandsworth, centred on the SW17 postcode between Tooting Bec Common and Tooting Graveney. The neighbourhood's well-proportioned Victorian terraces and excellent Northern line connections have made it one of south London's most desirable family areas, driving consistently high demand for loft conversions and extensions.

Victorian terraces and loft potential: Tooting's two- and three-storey Victorian terraces typically have slate roofs with good headroom in the loft space, making them ideal candidates for dormer conversions. Outside the Totterdown Fields Conservation Area, rear dormers can often be built under permitted development. Our team surveys the roof structure, confirms PD eligibility, and prepares building regulations drawings for Building Control approval.

Totterdown Fields Conservation Area: The Totterdown Fields Conservation Area covers the distinctive grid of streets between the two commons — an area of remarkable architectural consistency. Article 4 Directions remove most permitted development rights within this zone, meaning planning permission is required for dormer conversions, replacement windows, and front boundary changes. Our MCIAT-chartered team prepares conservation-sensitive applications that satisfy Wandsworth's heritage officers.

Rear extensions: Single-storey rear extensions to create open-plan kitchen-dining-living spaces are extremely popular in Tooting. Under permitted development, terraced houses can extend up to 4 metres (or up to 6 metres with prior notification under the larger homes scheme). Side-return infills are common on the wider corner plots and end-of-terrace properties.

Loft and extension combinations: Many Tooting homeowners combine a loft conversion with a rear extension in a single project to maximise space. We design integrated schemes that work structurally and architecturally, submitting coordinated planning and building regulations applications where needed.
