Which Wandsworth postcodes does this Victorian terrace project service cover?

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.

PostcodeAreaDominant stockWhat it means for a Victorian terrace project
SW16Streatham / NorburyEdwardian terraces, post-war flatsA 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.
SW19Wimbledon / Colliers WoodVictorian villas, Edwardian terracesWimbledon / 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.
SW11Battersea / Clapham JunctionVictorian terraces, mansion blocksA 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.
SW12BalhamVictorian and Edwardian terracesA 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.
SW15Putney / RoehamptonEdwardian terraces, Victorian villas, mansion blocksSW15 covers Putney / Roehampton only; Wandsworth Council handles the Victorian terrace project, and Putney / Roehampton case officers apply the SW15 conservation-area map.
SW17Tooting / EarlsfieldEdwardian terracesSW17 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.
SW18Wandsworth / Earlsfield / SouthfieldsVictorian villas and terracesA 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.

What changes about a Victorian terrace project in each part of Wandsworth?

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.

What local planning policy applies to a Victorian terrace project in Wandsworth?

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.

What Wandsworth is built from: 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. That mix decides the Victorian terrace project route in Wandsworth more than the postcode does. Our fixed fee for Victorian terrace projects in Wandsworth starts at £840, against £1,750 for the Complete package that carries a Wandsworth scheme through Wandsworth Council planning and building regulations together.
