LetUsBuildYourDreams
Extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments across Wallington, Carshalton and the borough of Sutton.
Wallington sits in a part of south London where garden-suburb planning still shapes the streets — generous plots, consistent building lines, and a good deal of mature planting. Sutton Council pays close attention to how new work sits against that grain.
The borough also contains a number of conservation areas and locally listed buildings. Where those apply, permitted development rights are often restricted and materials, fenestration and roof detailing come under real scrutiny. That is not a reason to avoid ambitious design, but it is a reason to design with the constraint in mind from day one.
Trees are a recurring factor here more than in most London boroughs. A tree preservation order, or simply a substantial tree in a neighbouring garden, can dictate foundation design and sometimes the footprint itself. We identify that at survey stage.
Not a stock photo library — these are MYD schemes in this borough, with the drawings we produced for them.
Fixed fee, agreed in writing before any work starts — quoted after your free consultation, so it reflects your actual property rather than an average. A householder application to Sutton Council carries a statutory eight-week determination period.
We talk through what you want to achieve, look at the property and tell you honestly whether it is likely to get consent.
A measured survey plus a check of planning history, constraints and permitted development rights for your specific address.
We develop the scheme with you and produce the drawings the council needs, revising until you are happy.
We submit, handle the case officer’s questions and negotiate amendments rather than accepting a refusal.
No, but it changes what is likely to be acceptable and usually removes some permitted development rights, meaning a planning application is needed where one otherwise would not be. Rear extensions are frequently approved in conservation areas; it is front and roof alterations that attract the most resistance.
A tree preservation order does not prevent development, but works affecting the tree need consent, and its root protection area will influence foundation design and sometimes the footprint. Identifying it early avoids an expensive redesign.
Yes — the whole London Borough of Sutton, including Carshalton, Cheam, Worcester Park and Beddington.
Three questions, about thirty seconds. We will come back to you with an honest view on whether your Wallington project is likely to get consent — before you have spent anything.
