Which Richmond upon Thames postcodes does this listed building consent application service cover?
Each Richmond upon Thames district on our books, the buildings that predominate there, and the authority that receives a listed building consent application from it. Amounts shown are 2026 statutory England application fees, not the cost of drawings or of works.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a listed building consent application |
|---|
| SW13 | Barnes | Georgian villas, Edwardian terraces | Barnes sits in SW13 and is determined by Richmond under its own Local Plan, with Barnes Village among the designations covering it. |
| SW14 | Mortlake / East Sheen | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | Mortlake and East Sheen occupy SW14 within the borough. Richmond handles the consent, applying the designated boundaries that run through both places. |
| TW1 | Twickenham | Georgian fragments, Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | Twickenham addresses in TW1 fall to Richmond, decided under the borough's own Local Plan without a neighbouring council taking any part. |
| TW2 | Twickenham / Whitton | Georgian fragments, Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | TW2 takes in the rest of Twickenham along with Whitton, determined by Richmond against its own Local Plan policies for those areas. |
| TW9 | Richmond / Kew | Georgian terraces, Victorian villas | Richmond and Kew share TW9, both determined by Richmond Council. Kew Green is one of the concentrations of listed buildings noted above. |
| TW10 | Richmond / Ham | Georgian terraces, Victorian villas | TW10 covers Richmond itself and Ham. Richmond Council determines it, and Richmond Green, one of the borough's designated areas, sits inside this district. |
| TW11 | Teddington | Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces | Teddington occupies TW11 alone. Richmond validates the application, and the constraint on a scheme comes from the listing rather than from the boundary. |
| TW12 | Hampton / Hampton Hill | Georgian villas, Edwardian terraces, 1930s semi-detached | Hampton and Hampton Hill make up TW12, all of it Richmond's to determine. One conservation team assesses everything submitted from the district. |
How does a listed building consent application differ street by street across Richmond upon Thames?
Pitch, wall construction and plot depth vary within a few streets here, and on a listed building each of them limits what can be altered before the alteration stops being justifiable.
- Hampton (TW12) — a listed building consent application in Hampton starts from georgian villas, edwardian terraces, 1930s semi-detached, and Hampton reads as Georgian and Edwardian villages. Applications on Georgian stock here almost always need a heritage statement alongside the drawings in TW12. Richmond Council assesses Hampton listed building consent applications against its own Hampton character guidance, and the location plan we draw for Hampton references Hampton Court Palace.
- Whitton (TW2) — 1930s semi-detached defines Whitton, where 1930s semi-detached set what a listed building consent application can do. On these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application across TW2. Any Whitton listed building consent application is validated by Richmond Council, with Whitton station the usual Whitton reference point on the site plan.
- Ham (TW10) — a listed building consent application in Ham starts from georgian villas, post-war estates, and Ham reads as Georgian common, post-war estate. Applications on Georgian stock here almost always need a heritage statement alongside the drawings in TW10. Richmond Council assesses Ham listed building consent applications against its own Ham character guidance, and the location plan we draw for Ham references Ham Common.
- Mortlake (SW14) — a listed building consent application in Mortlake starts from victorian and edwardian terraces, and Mortlake reads as Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Most applications on these Victorian streets are householder applications validated on existing and proposed plans in SW14. Richmond Council assesses Mortlake listed building consent applications against its own Mortlake character guidance, and the location plan we draw for Mortlake references Mortlake station.
- Richmond (TW9, TW10) — listed building consent application work in Richmond means georgian terraces, victorian villas. Richmond is Georgian centre, riverside conservation. Applications on Georgian stock here almost always need a heritage statement alongside the drawings throughout TW9. Richmond Council decides the Richmond application, and Richmond Green anchors the Richmond location plan.
- Twickenham (TW1, TW2) — listed building consent application work in Twickenham means georgian fragments, victorian terraces, edwardian villas. Twickenham is Georgian and Victorian riverside town. Applications on Georgian stock here almost always need a heritage statement alongside the drawings throughout TW1. Richmond Council decides the Twickenham application, and Twickenham Stadium anchors the Twickenham location plan.
- Kew (TW9) — listed building consent application work in Kew means georgian and edwardian villas. Kew is Georgian and Edwardian villas around the green. Applications on Georgian stock here almost always need a heritage statement alongside the drawings throughout TW9. Richmond Council decides the Kew application, and Kew Gardens anchors the Kew location plan.
How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a listed building consent application in Richmond upon Thames?
72 conservation areas appear on Richmond Council's own list, Barnes Village, Ham Common and Richmond Green among them. Designation removes the permitted development route. What would have been a £249 prior approval, settled in roughly 6 weeks, turns into a householder application at £548 determined over 8 weeks. A building that is listed and also sits inside a designated area needs consent under both regimes, and the heritage test is the harder one to satisfy. Ham Common is the designation that most often reshapes a scheme we are asked to draw.
No blanket Article 4 over Richmond upon Thames: Richmond Council has not withdrawn permitted development across Richmond upon Thames, so a listed building consent application outside a Richmond upon Thames conservation area usually keeps it. The £274 Lawful Development Certificate is still the document a SW13 owner wants on file.
The building fabric around Richmond upon Thames: 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 listed building consent application in Richmond upon Thames is scoped against that stock first.
Which neighbouring authorities border Richmond upon Thames?
- Hounslow — cross the Richmond upon Thames boundary and Hounslow Council takes the listed building consent application instead, applying 30 conservation areas of its own around W3. We re-price listed building consent applications at the Richmond upon Thames edge because Hounslow policy and Richmond upon Thames policy rarely align on listed building consent application depth.
- Kingston upon Thames — the Kingston upon Thames boundary runs against Richmond upon Thames, so a listed building consent application a street from Richmond upon Thames is decided by Kingston Council instead. Kingston upon Thames runs 22 conservation areas across KT1 and its neighbours, which is why listed building consent applications priced for Richmond upon Thames are re-checked against Kingston upon Thames policy whenever the Richmond upon Thames address sits on that edge.
- Wandsworth — adjoining Richmond upon Thames, with 45 conservation areas centred on SW8. A listed building consent application on the far side of the Richmond upon Thames line is determined by Wandsworth Council, so the Richmond upon Thames quote for listed building consent applications is checked against Wandsworth guidance before it is issued.
- Hammersmith and Fulham — cross the Richmond upon Thames boundary and Hammersmith & Fulham Council takes the listed building consent application instead, applying 45 conservation areas of its own around W6. We re-price listed building consent applications at the Richmond upon Thames edge because Hammersmith and Fulham policy and Richmond upon Thames policy rarely align on listed building consent application depth.
