Planning Permission in Selhurst | Fixed-Fee Plans

No Article 4 Direction covers Croydon, which keeps the Selhurst permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. In Selhurst the streetscape argument usually decides the case before the numbers do, because the area is Edwardian terraces. Purley is the designation that most often reshapes a Selhurst proposal; Croydon carries 24 of them. It is confirmed against London Borough of Croydon mapping for the Selhurst plot.

Knowing how Article 4 directions apply to your SE25 address is the first thing we establish. On Selhurst plots the original rear wall and the Selhurst Park ridge line set the envelope. The borough policy layer over every SE25 address is set out on Croydon planning. The Selhurst survey then carries into loft conversion drawings in Selhurst if the project runs on to construction.

London Borough of Croydon takes one to two weeks to validate a Selhurst submission. Step one at a SE25 address is a full measured survey of the existing building.

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.

After validation a Selhurst application is allocated to an officer, who will visit the SE25 address. Every Selhurst submission leaves here as a PDF set at the scales Croydon Council requires.

London Borough of Croydon weighs material objections only — a Selhurst neighbour disliking the design is not one. A Selhurst survey takes two to three hours and needs access to every room.

Because Selhurst houses generally share walls, budget time for party wall notices alongside the SE25 application. Once consent is granted, house extension drawings follows for the SE25 property.

Selhurst is characterised by edwardian terraces, concentrated across SE25 in the South Norwood / Selhurst area. What the edwardian terraces in Selhurst allows is a construction question first and a planning question second, and the survey answers it. What that means for a SE25 address: edwardian houses here typically need the same householder set plus a roof plan where a dormer is proposed. On Croydon stock it changes the party wall position. Because Selhurst rows are consistent, the proposed elevation is drawn with neighbours on it.

Lower-ground schemes in Selhurst answer to neighbours and groundwater. Survey data from the Selhurst property flows straight into architectural drawings for SE25 properties or building regulations drawings without a second site visit.

• Selhurst Park — it fixes the local datum a Selhurst roof extension is judged against.
