Planning permission drawings, loft conversions, rear extensions, and flat conversions for Walworth's Victorian terraces and period properties. MCIAT chartered, Southwark planning expertise built in.
Walworth sits in the SE17 postcode within the London Borough of Southwark. The neighbourhood's Victorian terraces, Georgian survivals, and the Pullens Estate — a rare preserved Victorian artisan estate — sit within a rapidly regenerating wider context around Elephant & Castle.
Victorian terraces: Walworth has extensive Victorian terrace stock. Rear extensions, side-return infills, and rear dormer loft conversions are the main projects. Outside the CAs, most fall within PD.
Pullens Estate Conservation Area: The Pullens Estate is an exceptional preserved Victorian artisan yard and housing estate. Within the CA, Article 4 Directions apply and Heritage Statements are required.
Flat conversions: Many Walworth houses have been subdivided. Further subdivision requires planning permission and must meet Southwark's space standards. We prepare the full package.
Regeneration context: Walworth sits next to the major regeneration around Elephant & Castle. The wider policy context is shifting; Southwark has published updated guidance on densification and design.
