What makes Richmond Special?
Richmond's vast open spaces, including the renowned Richmond Park and the distinctive Kew Gardens, combined with its rich historical and natural beauty, create an ideal setting for fascinating developments. This deep-rooted heritage has fostered a strong pro-conservation stance from the local authority, making the process of obtaining planning permission for house extensions and loft conversions in Richmond particularly complex yet evermore rewarding. Richmond upon Thames is known for its affluent, suburban charm, exemplified by its remarkable Georgian architecture. This style, known for its symmetry and classic aesthetic, often features buildings made of brick or stone.
The borough’s unique village-like atmosphere is further enriched by the blend of Georgian, Regency, and Victorian architectural styles. To preserve and enhance its architectural and historical character, Richmond has designated 85 conservation areas, providing additional protection to buildings and sites of significant architectural merit. Even if your property is not within one of the designated conservation areas, be aware that the planning department in Richmond will still present challenges in achieving your goals for your home. Extension Architecture is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you navigate these complexities with expert architectural advice. As a leading planning consultant in Richmond, we are adept at understanding these preservation efforts and ensuring that your projects align with the borough’s distinctive heritage.

Richmond Planning Applications and Architectural Services
Currently, more and more people in the city choose to expand their houses, build additional floors in their lofts or just carry out renovations or refurbishments; they hope their property’s value will rise and their everyday comfort will improve if they decide to move, rather than buy a new home. Planning permissions in Richmond, however, are not always easy to determine since the borough is divided into as many as 72 conservation areas aimed at preserving the distinctive architecture. It does not matter if your home is not located in a conservation area; there are times when Richmond’s planning department will put up obstructions that make attaining the home of your dreams just a tad more difficult.
This is where established architectural firms like us Extension Architecture come in handy, sometimes the Homeowners want to use Permitted Development rights for a streamlined process, only to find it isn’t always possible. At Extension Architecture, you get the best value for your home renovation and work through the Richmond planning jungle in comfort regardless of whether your home is located in a conservation area or not.
