House extensions in Greenwich are dominated by single-storey rear and side-return additions on SE10's georgian and victorian terraces around greenwich town, with double-storey and wrap-around schemes where the plot allows. Greenwich Council weighs depth, height and neighbour daylight; many extensions across Greenwich, West Greenwich, Maze Hill, Greenwich Peninsula are Permitted Development, which we confirm with a Lawful Development Certificate before you build.
The whole spectrum — rear extensions, side returns, wraparounds, double-storey, basement digs. Planning-led design with detailed technical phase, ideal for georgian and victorian terraces around greenwich town typical of Greenwich.
Across Greenwich, West Greenwich, Maze Hill, Greenwich Peninsula in SE10, the dominant property is georgian and victorian terraces around greenwich town and the park, with riverside new-build on the peninsula and conservation-area houses on the hill. That stock shapes what house extension drawings looks like here: the right approach for a period terrace differs from a mansion-block flat or a new-build, and Greenwich Council judges each on design quality and neighbour impact. We survey the specific Greenwich property, confirm the planning route — Permitted Development, a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning — and draw a council-ready set tailored to the SE10 streetscape.
Housing stock in SE10: Georgian and Victorian terraces around Greenwich town and the park, with riverside new-build on the Peninsula and conservation-area houses on the hill.
Within the district: Greenwich, West Greenwich, Maze Hill, Greenwich Peninsula.
Streets we know in SE10: the West Greenwich streets (Royal Hill, Gloucester Circus), the Maze Hill terraces and Croom's Hill. Each road has its own building line, boundary treatment and precedent that Greenwich Council weighs when assessing a house extension drawings scheme.
Conservation areas: Greenwich Park, West Greenwich, Ashburnham Triangle. Inside these, most external work needs full planning and a Heritage Statement.
Getting around SE10: Greenwich and Maze Hill rail and DLR, plus North Greenwich on the Jubilee line and the riverbus.
Regeneration: Greenwich falls within or beside the Greenwich Peninsula (one of Europe's largest regeneration schemes), which shapes local planning policy and design expectations.
Property values: around £450,000 for a flat and £850,000-£1.4m for a house — a useful gauge of the build value an extension or loft adds in SE10.
Borough character: World Heritage Site status in Greenwich town centre adds heritage weight; outer borough areas (Eltham, Thamesmead) generally permissive.

Heavily. West Greenwich and the area around Greenwich Park sit within the setting of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, with conservation areas and many listed houses, so external changes need full planning, often Listed Building Consent, with detailed heritage scrutiny. We design to that standard and produce the documentation required.
Yes, but most of these streets are in conservation areas, so rear and side extensions and any roof change need full planning with a Heritage Statement rather than Permitted Development. We design to match the Georgian and Victorian detailing and submit to Greenwich, carrying the application through officer queries.
The Peninsula is one of Europe's largest regeneration schemes — thousands of homes around the O2 and North Greenwich — lifting values across SE10. For a conservation-area house project, though, the binding controls remain the World Heritage setting and the local designation, which we work within.
The Ashburnham Triangle is a conservation area of attractive Victorian terraces where side-return and rear extensions are common but assessed on materials and form. We design sympathetically and submit a full application with a Heritage Statement, handling the planning and Building Regulations drawings together.
Our fixed fee for house extension drawings in Greenwich starts at £1,225 — no hourly billing. With Greenwich property at around £450,000 for a flat and £850,000-£1.4m for a house, the professional drawing fee is a small fraction of the value the work adds to SE10's georgian and victorian terraces around greenwich town. Greenwich Council charges its own statutory application fee on top (currently £258 for a householder planning application, £578 for a full application). We quote the drawings as one fixed price and the free site survey covers every SE10 address.
For a SE10 project across Greenwich, West Greenwich, Maze Hill, Greenwich Peninsula, 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 Greenwich Council (8 weeks for a householder application). We carry the Greenwich application through every officer query to the decision.
Greenwich (SE10) sits primarily in Greenwich, so applications are decided by Greenwich Council. Article 4 in force in the borough: No. Conservation areas within SE10 include Greenwich Park, West Greenwich, Ashburnham Triangle, 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 house extension drawings in Greenwich — 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 Greenwich Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On SE10'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. With Greenwich (SE10) property at around £450,000 for a flat and £850,000-£1.4m for a house, a well-designed extension or loft typically returns more than it costs in added floor area and sale value, while our fixed drawing fee from £1,225 keeps the professional cost predictable. 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 SE10 homes.
