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.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a 1930s semi project |
|---|
| SW15 | Putney / Roehampton | Edwardian terraces, Victorian villas, mansion blocks | Putney / Roehampton sits wholly inside SW15, so Wandsworth Council validates every 1930s semi project submitted from an SW15 address. |

| SW18 | Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields | Victorian villas and terraces | SW18 covers Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields only; Wandsworth Council handles the 1930s semi project, and Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields case officers apply the SW18 conservation-area map. |
| SW4 | Clapham | Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | A 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. |

| SW19 | Wimbledon / Colliers Wood | Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces | Wimbledon / 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. |

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 £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 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.

A 1930s semi project in Wandsworth is scoped against that stock first.
