How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a mansard roof extension in Camberwell?

Conservation areas covering Camberwell: Southwark Council runs 43, and Camberwell Grove, Bermondsey Street, Dulwich Village are the ones Camberwell owners meet most. A mansard roof extension inside a Camberwell conservation area loses permitted development, so the Camberwell submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Borough a mansard roof extension is judged on the street elevation first.

Camberwell and Article 4: Article 4 for HMOs borough-wide; additional Article 4 for office-to-residential in Bermondsey and Elephant & Castle. A mansard roof extension planned at a SE5 address is checked against that direction first; Southwark Council publishes the Camberwell extent, and the SE5 line rarely follows the Camberwell boundary you would expect.

The building fabric around Camberwell: Georgian and Regency in Bermondsey and Borough; Victorian terraces in Camberwell and Peckham; Dulwich Estate controlled housing; riverside new-build. Dulwich Estate private planning scheme affects much of SE21 and SE22; Southwark planning for rest of borough; strong heritage context. A mansard roof extension in Camberwell 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 Southwark Council.
