Bay-fronted two-storey terraces with side passage and rear garden. Most common London period stock.
Victorian terrace stock in Wandsworth responds best to extensions that respect the existing rhythm. For Victorian and Edwardian period property, side returns and rear infill are routine. For 1930s suburban, single-storey rear and loft conversions dominate. We design to the block, not the brochure.

Every Wandsworth postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a Victorian terrace project there. Wandsworth fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not Victorian terrace project estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a Victorian terrace project |
|---|---|---|---|
| SW16 | Streatham / Norbury | Edwardian terraces, post-war flats | A Victorian terrace 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. |
| SW19 | Wimbledon / Colliers Wood | Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces | Wimbledon / Colliers Wood is split at SW19. Either Merton Council or Wandsworth Council can determine a Victorian terrace project here, so the SW19 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
| SW11 | Battersea / Clapham Junction | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | A Victorian terrace project at an SW11 address in Battersea / Clapham Junction is determined by Wandsworth Council under its own Local Plan policies for Battersea / Clapham Junction. |
| SW12 | Balham | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | A Victorian terrace project in Balham may land with Wandsworth Council or Lambeth Council — SW12 crosses the boundary, and the SW12 policies map decides it street by street. |
| SW15 | Putney / Roehampton | Edwardian terraces, Victorian villas, mansion blocks | SW15 covers Putney / Roehampton only; Wandsworth Council handles the Victorian terrace project, and Putney / Roehampton case officers apply the SW15 conservation-area map. |
| SW17 | Tooting / Earlsfield | Edwardian terraces | SW17 straddles a boundary: Tooting / Earlsfield addresses fall to Wandsworth Council or Merton Council, so confirm which authority validates the Victorian terrace project before submitting SW17 drawings. |
| SW18 | Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields | Victorian villas and terraces | A Victorian terrace project at an SW18 address in Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields is determined by Wandsworth Council under its own Local Plan policies for Wandsworth / Earlsfield / Southfields. |
| SW4 | Clapham | Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas | Clapham is split at SW4. Either Lambeth Council or Wandsworth Council can determine a Victorian terrace project here, so the SW4 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Wandsworth streets, and each one changes what a Victorian terrace project can achieve at that address.
How designation changes a Wandsworth Victorian terrace project: Wandsworth Council maintains 45 conservation areas, including Magdalen Park, Nightingale Triangle, Wandsworth Common. Inside any of them a Wandsworth Victorian terrace project cannot rely on permitted development, and the route becomes a £258 householder application determined in 8 weeks rather than a £120 prior approval in 6 weeks. Tonsley sets the tone for Wandsworth casework.
Article 4 and your Wandsworth Victorian terrace 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 Victorian terrace projects.

That mix decides the Victorian terrace project route in Wandsworth more than the postcode does.
