Where in Wandsworth does a 1930s semi project actually get determined?

Every Wandsworth postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a 1930s semi project there. Wandsworth fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not 1930s semi project estimates.

PostcodeAreaDominant stockWhat it means for a 1930s semi project
SW15Putney / RoehamptonEdwardian terraces, Victorian villas, mansion blocksPutney / Roehampton sits wholly inside SW15, so Wandsworth Council validates every 1930s semi project submitted from an SW15 address.
SW17Tooting / EarlsfieldEdwardian terracesSW17 straddles a boundary: Tooting / Earlsfield addresses fall to Wandsworth Council or Merton Council, so confirm which authority validates the 1930s semi project before submitting SW17 drawings.
SW18Wandsworth / Earlsfield / SouthfieldsVictorian villas and terracesSW18 covers Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields only; Wandsworth Council handles the 1930s semi project.
SW4ClaphamVictorian terraces, Edwardian villasA 1930s semi project in Clapham may land with Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council — SW4 crosses the boundary, and the SW4 policies map decides it street by street.
SW8South Lambeth / Nine ElmsVictorian terraces, new-build apartmentsSW8 straddles a boundary: South Lambeth / Nine Elms addresses fall to Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council, so confirm which authority validates the 1930s semi project before submitting SW8 drawings.
SW16Streatham / NorburyEdwardian terraces, post-war flatsA 1930s semi project in Streatham / Norbury may land with Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council or Merton Council or Croydon Council — SW16 crosses the boundary, and the SW16 policies map decides it street by street.
SW19Wimbledon / Colliers WoodVictorian villas, Edwardian terracesWimbledon / Colliers Wood is split at SW19. Either Merton Council or Wandsworth Council can determine a 1930s semi project here, so the SW19 address is checked against both policies maps first.
SW11Battersea / Clapham JunctionVictorian terraces, mansion blocksBattersea / Clapham Junction sits wholly inside SW11, so Wandsworth Council validates every 1930s semi project submitted from an SW11 address.

How does a 1930s semi project differ street by street across Wandsworth?

Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Wandsworth streets, and each one changes what a 1930s semi project can achieve at that address.

Does Wandsworth planning policy restrict a 1930s semi project?

Conservation areas covering Wandsworth: Wandsworth Council runs 45, and Nightingale Triangle, Wandsworth Common, Clapham Common West are the ones Wandsworth owners meet most. A 1930s semi project inside a Wandsworth conservation area loses permitted development, so the Wandsworth submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Tonsley a 1930s semi project is judged on the street elevation first.

Article 4 and your Wandsworth 1930s semi project: Article 4 for HMO conversions covering the whole borough. At a SW11 address that matters twice over, because Wandsworth Council applies the direction unevenly across Wandsworth — we read the Wandsworth policies map for the exact SW11 address before quoting 1930s semi projects.

The building fabric around Wandsworth: Extensive Victorian terraced streets — the classic London side-return extension opportunity; Edwardian villas around the commons; 1930s semi-detached in Southfields. Family-oriented, high side-return extension and loft conversion rates; planning department experienced with Victorian terrace modifications. A 1930s semi project in Wandsworth is scoped against that stock first.
