What local planning policy applies to a mansard roof extension in Teddington?

Conservation areas covering Teddington: Richmond Council runs 72, and Richmond Green, Kew Green, Hampton Wick are the ones Teddington owners meet most. A mansard roof extension inside a Teddington conservation area loses permitted development, so the Teddington submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Barnes Village a mansard roof extension is judged on the street elevation first.

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.

The building fabric around Teddington: Georgian in Richmond Green and Twickenham; Edwardian villas in Barnes and East Sheen; 1930s semi-detached in Whitton; riverside cottages along the Thames. 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.
