House Extension Drawings in Wimbledon Village |

No Article 4 Direction covers Merton, which keeps the Wimbledon Village permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. Wimbledon Village reads as Georgian and Victorian village conservation, and that is the context a SW19 scheme is judged in. Merton has 28 conservation areas, and Wimbledon Common is the one that most often covers Wimbledon Village stock. Every Wimbledon Village enquiry starts with that check.

Knowing how Article 4 directions apply to your SW19 address is the first thing we establish. On Wimbledon Village plots the original rear wall and the Wimbledon Village High Street ridge line set the envelope. The borough policy layer over every SW19 address is set out on Merton planning. The Wimbledon Village survey then carries into architectural drawings in Wimbledon Village if the project runs on to construction.

Validation alone costs London Borough of Merton one to two weeks even when the Wimbledon Village pack is complete, and that queue — not the determination — is where most SW19 delay starts. Nothing is drawn for a SW19 address until the existing building is measured.

Statutory periods: 8 weeks from validation for a householder application, 13 weeks for a major scheme, 6 weeks for prior approval with a 21 days neighbour consultation, and 5 weeks for a full plans building control submission. A party structure notice requires one month notice and two months where excavation is involved.

We monitor the SW19 case and respond to officer queries during the period. We format the Wimbledon Village set exactly as Merton Council wants to receive it.

Objection volume on Wimbledon Village cases is public — we read it before advising. The Wimbledon Village existing set is accurate to the millimetre where it matters.

Most Wimbledon Village terraces share a flank wall, so party wall notices apply. Once consent is granted, planning permission follows for the SW19 property.

Wimbledon Village is characterised by georgian and victorian villas, concentrated across SW19 in the Wimbledon / Colliers Wood area. Every Wimbledon Village scheme starts from what is actually there: georgian and victorian villas, surveyed to the millimetre before a proposal is drawn. On the Wimbledon Village stock specifically: georgian rear elevations here are usually the listed or locally listed face of the building, so a glazed link and a lightweight rear addition tend to fare better than a full-width box. On a Wimbledon Village terrace it governs the rear opening width. Ridge and eaves lines along Wimbledon Village streets are the reference Merton Council uses.

Lower-ground schemes in Wimbledon Village answer to neighbours and groundwater. If the SW19 job later needs building regulations drawings for SW19 properties or loft conversion drawings, the existing drawings already carry the measurements.

Streets and landmarks we survey around Wimbledon Village

• Cannizaro Park — terraced rear elevations — the Cannizaro Park party wall position is drawn first.
• Raynes Park — roof profiles that set the ridge datum Merton Council measures a Raynes Park dormer against.
• Merton Park — gardens deep enough for the 8 weeks householder route on a Merton Park plot.
• Wimbledon Park — side returns where the 45-degree amenity test decides how far a Wimbledon Park extension goes.
• Selhurst Park — frontages visible from the highway, so Wimbledon Common materials detail governs the Selhurst Park elevation.
• Plough Lane — gardens deep enough for the 8 weeks householder route on a Plough Lane plot.
• Merton Place — closet wings that change how a rear extension meets the Merton Place back addition.
• Wimbledon Village High Street — Merton Council weighs SW19 sightlines to it in the character assessment.
• Ricards Lodge High School — proposals in its setting are drawn with the Wimbledon Village context elevation.
• Wimbledon Common — height and massing nearby are argued against this frontage.
• Wimbledon High School — it anchors the Wimbledon Village streetscape argument in an officer report.
• Gracie Fields — proposals within its setting are drawn with the context elevation included.
