L-shaped dormer loft conversion in Earlsfield

A family in Earlsfield approached us for l-shaped dormer loft conversion on a victorian terraces property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Wandsworth, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Wandsworth Council's design expectations for the conservation context (45 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 Wandsworth Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.

Submitted to Wandsworth Council via the Planning Portal. With Article 4 in force in Wandsworth, we confirmed our scheme retained the necessary permissions before submission. Officer comments minor, addressed in 5 days. Approved with 1 minor amendment.
