Planning Permission in Teddington | Fixed-Fee Plans

No Article 4 Direction covers Richmond upon Thames, which keeps the Teddington permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. Officers see Teddington as Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces — design that ignores it struggles. Richmond upon Thames has 72 conservation areas, and Kew Green is the one that most often covers Teddington stock. Designation status for the TW11 address is established first.

That check — Article 4 directions against the Teddington property — happens on day one. The Teddington numbers come off the building: rear wall, levels, ridge against Teddington Lock. The borough policy layer over every TW11 address is set out on Richmond upon Thames planning. The Teddington survey then carries into architectural drawings in Teddington if the project runs on to construction.

The Teddington clock does not start until London Borough of Richmond upon Thames validates — one to two weeks. Week one is a laser measured survey at your Teddington property; the existing plans are drawn from that survey, never from an estate agent's floorplan.

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 Teddington application is allocated to an officer, who will visit the TW11 address. Every Teddington submission leaves here as a PDF set at the scales Richmond Council requires.

Objections on a Teddington case usually come from the immediate neighbours, not the wider TW11 area. Everything drawn for a TW11 address traces back to a measurement taken on site.

Most Teddington terraces share a flank wall, so party wall notices apply. Once consent is granted, building regulations drawings follows for the TW11 property.

Teddington is characterised by edwardian villas, victorian terraces, concentrated across TW11 in the Teddington area. The edwardian villas is the constraint that shapes most Teddington projects, long before policy enters the picture. Locally that resolves to this: most applications on these Victorian streets are householder applications validated on existing and proposed plans, elevations, a site plan and a location plan. That detail drives the TW11 construction sequence. London Borough of Richmond upon Thames officers compare a TW11 scheme to the block it sits in, not to a policy number.

Subterranean TW11 work needs a structural case as much as a planning one. We do not re-measure a TW11 property for each stage of the job.
