Across Hammersmith, Brackenbury Village, Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith riverside in W6, the dominant property is victorian and georgian terraces, riverside houses and mansion blocks across hammersmith and the brackenbury village streets.

Listed, conservation or complex sites.
Yes. The Victorian terraces in the Brackenbury grid suit side-return and rear kitchen extensions and loft conversions, but most of the grid is a conservation area, so full planning with a Heritage Statement is typically required rather than Permitted Development. We design to match the original brick and detailing and submit to Hammersmith & Fulham.
Yes. The Upper Mall and St Peter's Square houses are in conservation areas, several are listed, and the riverside sits in the Thames flood zone, so changes need full planning, often Listed Building Consent, and a flood-risk assessment. We provide the heritage and survey drawings these specialist projects require.
Usually yes, but inside the Ravenscourt conservation area a rear dormer needs full planning and front roof changes are resisted. We design the dormer to sit discreetly within the roofscape and detail it to match, submitting to Hammersmith & Fulham. Outside the conservation area, Permitted Development may apply.
Allow roughly 3-4 weeks for the drawings and around 8 weeks for the council's householder determination once submitted. On the Brackenbury and riverside conservation roads, consultation can add time, which we flag up front and carry through every officer query.

On W6'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.
