Teddington is Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces. The dominant stock — edwardian villas, victorian terraces — has specific constraints and opportunities for mansard roof extensions. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.

Article 4 and your Teddington mansard roof extension: Richmond Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a mansard roof extension in Teddington generally survives outside Teddington conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £274 is how a TW11 owner records that a mansard roof extension was lawful.

Highest conservation area coverage in London; Royal Parks and Thames corridor add heritage layers; design quality heavily scrutinised. A mansard roof extension in Teddington is scoped against that stock first, because it decides whether the scheme runs as permitted development, a £274 Lawful Development Certificate, or a full £548 application to Richmond Council.
