Wrap-around extension in Camberwell

A family in Camberwell approached us for wrap-around extension on a georgian villas property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Southwark, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Southwark Council's design expectations for the conservation context (43 conservation areas borough-wide).

Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Southwark Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.

Submitted to Southwark Council via the Planning Portal. With Article 4 in force in Southwark, we confirmed our scheme retained the necessary permissions before submission. Officer comments minor, addressed in 5 days. Approved at second round.
