Which postcode districts around Lambeth do we cover for Georgian townhouse project work?
Every Lambeth postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates
it and the authority that validates a Georgian townhouse project there. Lambeth fees below are the
statutory England rates for 2026, not Georgian townhouse project estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a Georgian townhouse project |
|---|
| SW2 | Brixton Hill / Tulse Hill | Victorian terraces, post-war estates | Brixton Hill / Tulse Hill sits wholly inside SW2, so Lambeth Council validates every Georgian townhouse project submitted from an SW2 address. |
| SW4 | Clapham | Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | A Georgian townhouse 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. |
| SW8 | South Lambeth / Nine Elms | Victorian terraces, new-build apartments | SW8 straddles a boundary: South Lambeth / Nine Elms addresses fall to Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council, so confirm which authority validates the Georgian townhouse project before submitting SW8 drawings. |
| SW9 | Brixton / Stockwell | Victorian terraces, post-war estates | SW9 covers Brixton / Stockwell only; Lambeth Council handles the Georgian townhouse project, and Brixton / Stockwell case officers apply the SW9 conservation-area map. |
| SW16 | Streatham / Norbury | Edwardian terraces, post-war flats | Streatham / Norbury is split at SW16. Either Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council or Merton Council or Croydon Council can determine a Georgian townhouse project here, so the SW16 address is checked against both policies maps first. |

Does Lambeth planning policy restrict a Georgian townhouse project?
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 Georgian townhouse project then needs a £258 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £120 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Brixton Road is the Lambeth designation that most often changes a Georgian townhouse project design.
Article 4 and your Lambeth Georgian townhouse project: Borough-wide Article 4 for HMO conversions; plus office-to-residential restrictions. At a SE11 address that matters twice over, because Lambeth Council applies the direction unevenly across Lambeth — we read the Lambeth policies map for the exact SE11 address before quoting Georgian townhouse projects.

That mix decides the Georgian townhouse project route in Lambeth more than the postcode does.

Westminster runs 56 conservation areas across SW1 and its neighbours, which is why Georgian townhouse projects priced for Lambeth are re-checked against Westminster policy whenever the Lambeth address sits on that edge.

We re-price Georgian townhouse projects at the Lambeth edge because Southwark policy and Lambeth policy rarely align on Georgian townhouse project depth.

Wandsworth runs 45 conservation areas across SW8 and its neighbours, which is why Georgian townhouse projects priced for Lambeth are re-checked against Wandsworth policy whenever the Lambeth address sits on that edge.

Croydon runs 24 conservation areas across CR0 and its neighbours, which is why Georgian townhouse projects priced for Lambeth are re-checked against Croydon policy whenever the Lambeth address sits on that edge.
