Planning Permission in Putney | Fixed-Fee Plans

An Article 4 Direction applies across Wandsworth, so check it before assuming Putney permitted development survives. Putney is Edwardian terraces, riverside — a planning permission submission has to answer that context rather than a generic London template. Check Wandsworth Common before assuming permitted development on a Putney house; Wandsworth designates 45 such areas. Designation status for the SW15 address is established first.

Before drawing anything for Putney, we check Article 4 directions against the SW15 boundary. Measure a SW15 property and the edwardian terraces answers most of it — where the original rear wall sat, and what height the Putney street will carry. The borough policy layer over every SW15 address is set out on Wandsworth planning. The Putney survey then carries into building regulations drawings in Putney if the project runs on to construction.

A Putney application is not live until London Borough of Wandsworth validates it, which takes one to two weeks on a complete pack. The Putney survey comes first, because a proposal drawn on wrong existing plans fails validation later.

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.

Neighbour consultation on a Putney case runs 21 days from registration. Nothing leaves for a Putney address until it matches the local validation checklist.

On Putney terraces the objection to expect is loss of light to a rear window. We measure the SW15 property room by room, including ceiling heights and floor falls.

Party wall procedure catches most SW15 owners late; on Putney stock assume it applies and serve in good time. Once consent is granted, loft conversion drawings follows for the SW15 property.

Putney is characterised by edwardian terraces, victorian villas, mansion blocks, concentrated across SW15 in the Putney / Roehampton area. What the edwardian terraces in Putney allows is a construction question first and a planning question second, and the survey answers it. Reading that across to Putney stock: most applications on these Victorian streets are householder applications validated on existing and proposed plans, elevations, a site plan and a location plan. It is the first thing checked at the Putney survey. Massing on a Putney scheme is argued against the Putney Bridge street rhythm.

Subterranean SW15 work needs a structural case as much as a planning one. The Putney measured survey is reused across house extension drawings for SW15 properties and architectural drawings, so the cost lands once.

Local landmarks that shape a Putney application

• Simon Lane — front-to-back level changes that drive the Simon Lane section drawings.
• Putney Vale — closet wings that change how a rear extension meets the Putney Vale back addition.
• Putney Bridge — nearby edwardian terraces takes its scale from this frontage.
• London Bridge — massing on adjoining SW15 plots is tested against it.
• Putney Library — schemes visible from it get closer scrutiny in Wandsworth.
• Scio House Hospital — height and massing nearby are argued against this frontage.
• Putney Bridge — nearby edwardian terraces takes its scale from this frontage.
