Planning Drawings · KT2 Kingston
Kingston upon Thames protects the Coombe, Canbury and Kingston Hill conservation areas; the Coombe estates are among the borough's most expensive, with large plots and strong design control.
This page covers one part of the borough. For the full picture — fees, timelines and the council's current position — read planning drawings in Kingston upon Thames.
Planning drawings for Kingston start by establishing whether your scheme is Permitted Development, needs a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning from Kingston Council. On KT2's victorian and edwardian villas and terraces around, the recurring questions are roof additions, rear and side-return extensions, and alterations within Coombe, Canbury, Kingston Hill. We draw existing and proposed plans, elevations and a site location plan to the council's validation checklist for Norbiton, Canbury, Coombe, Kingston Hill.
Across Norbiton, Canbury, Coombe, Kingston Hill in KT2, the dominant property is victorian and edwardian villas and terraces around norbiton and canbury, with large detached houses on the coombe estates. That stock shapes what planning permission drawings looks like here: the right approach for a period terrace differs from a mansion-block flat or a new-build, and Kingston Council judges each on design quality and neighbour impact. We survey the specific Kingston property, confirm the planning route — Permitted Development, a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning — and draw a council-ready set tailored to the KT2 streetscape.

Yes. Canbury and Norbiton terraces suit side-return and rear extensions and lofts, much within Permitted Development outside the conservation areas. The large Coombe estate houses (George Road, Warren Road) offer scope for substantial extensions, though most sit in the Coombe conservation area and need full planning. We confirm the route for your address.
The Coombe conservation area protects the leafy, low-density character of George Road, Warren Road and the surrounding estates, so extensions are assessed on plot coverage, height and tree impact. We design within those constraints and handle the Kingston application with the necessary heritage and arboricultural input.
Usually yes on the Canbury and Norbiton terraces outside the conservation areas — a rear dormer within the volume allowance, confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate. On the Coombe estates and in conservation areas, roof changes need full planning. We confirm which applies.
From Canbury terraces around £700,000 to Coombe houses well over £2m, a consented extension or loft adds significant value and family space. The Coombe estates carry a higher planning bar, so professional drawings matter.
Kingston Council charges its own statutory application fee (currently £548 for a householder planning application, £610 for a full application). We quote the drawings as one fixed price and the free site survey covers every KT2 address.
For a KT2 project across Norbiton, Canbury, Coombe, Kingston Hill, expect roughly 3–4 weeks from instruction to submission: week 1 the measured survey, weeks 2–3 the drawings and your revisions, then validation and the statutory determination by Kingston Council (8 weeks for a householder application). We carry the Kingston application through every officer query to the decision.

Conservation areas within KT2 include Coombe, Canbury, Kingston Hill, where full planning and a Heritage Statement are required. We confirm the planning route for your exact address before quoting.
Almost always. Any structural work behind planning permission drawings in Kingston — new openings, steel beams, loft floors, foundations — needs Building Regulations approval covering structure (Part A), fire escape (Part B) and insulation (Part L), submitted to Kingston Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On KT2's typically terraced and semi-detached stock, a Party Wall notice to adjoining neighbours is normally required before the steelwork. We coordinate both as part of the Complete package.
In value terms, yes. The bigger risk is an unapproved or non-compliant scheme — which is why council-ready drawings and a clean Building Control sign-off matter on KT2 homes.

How designation changes a KT2 (Kingston / Norbiton) planning drawing set: Kingston Council maintains 22 conservation areas, including Hampton Wick, Coombe Hill, Kingston Old Town. Inside any of them a KT2 (Kingston / Norbiton) planning drawing set cannot rely on permitted development, and the route becomes a £548 householder application determined in 8 weeks rather than a £249 prior approval in 6 weeks. Hampton Wick sets the tone for KT2 (Kingston / Norbiton) casework.
Article 4 and your KT2 (Kingston / Norbiton) planning drawing set: Kingston Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a planning drawing set in KT2 (Kingston / Norbiton) generally survives outside KT2 (Kingston / Norbiton) conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £274 is how a KT2 owner records that a planning drawing set was lawful.
