it and the authority that validates a Edwardian villa project there. Lambeth fees below are the
statutory England rates for 2026, not Edwardian villa project estimates.

| SW16 | Streatham / Norbury | Edwardian terraces, post-war flats | SW16 straddles a boundary: Streatham / Norbury addresses fall to Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council or Merton Council or Croydon Council, so confirm which authority validates the Edwardian villa project before submitting SW16 drawings. |

| SE5 | Camberwell | Georgian villas, Victorian terraces | Camberwell is split at SE5. Either Southwark Council or Lambeth Council can determine a Edwardian villa project here, so the SE5 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
| SE19 | Upper Norwood / Crystal Palace | Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces | Upper Norwood / Crystal Palace is split at SE19. Either Croydon Council or Lambeth Council can determine a Edwardian villa project here, so the SE19 address is checked against both policies maps first. |

How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a Edwardian villa project in Lambeth?
Lambeth conservation designations: there are 64 across Lambeth Council, Herne Hill, Brixton Road, Kennington among them. Designation costs a Lambeth owner the permitted-development route: a Edwardian villa project then needs a £258 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £120 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Brockwell Park is the Lambeth designation that most often changes a Edwardian villa project design.
What Article 4 removes near Lambeth: Borough-wide Article 4 for HMO conversions; plus office-to-residential restrictions. Before pricing a Edwardian villa project we check whether the SE11 address is inside the mapped area, because Lambeth Council draws the Lambeth boundary street by street rather than across the whole of Lambeth.
