Does Twickenham planning policy restrict a drawing package?
Conservation areas covering Twickenham: Richmond Council runs 72, and Twickenham Riverside, Barnes Village, Ham Common are the ones Twickenham owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Twickenham conservation area loses permitted development, so the Twickenham submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Kew Green a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.
Twickenham permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Richmond Council, so a drawing package at a TW1 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £129 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Twickenham sale to argue it later.
