4D Planning's role

4D Planning were instructed to design a large extension to the semi-detached house situated in the Dulwich Estate Conservation Area. We produced the architectural drawings to maximise the house while keeping to planning guidelines and policies. We considered the Conservation Area appraisal and the Dulwich Estate requirements and obtained planning permission from Southwark Council for the works. The works included a large double storey side extension, a very large single storey rear extension, garage conversion, new windows and front landscape design. We liaised with Dulwich Estate to get their approval for the works and for the felling of a small tree. We produced the Building Regulations Drawings and liaised with Building Control, the Structural Engineer and the Partywall Surveyor. We also produced a 3D computer model and visualisations of the property.

Achieving Planning Permission for Extensions and Conversions in Southwark

Planning a double-storey side extension, garage conversion, and single-storey L-shaped rear extension is a great way to increase both living space and property value. These improvements offer more room for growing families, modern amenities, or even home offices. However, in a borough like Southwark, particularly in areas such as the Dulwich Estate or other Conservation Areas in Southwark, obtaining planning permission can be a challenge. Southwark Council imposes strict policies to maintain the character and appearance of local neighborhoods, especially in protected areas.

To ensure success, it's essential to work with experienced professionals who understand the planning application process and local planning policies. 4D Planning has years of experience assisting clients across Southwark, helping them secure planning consent even for complex projects like multi-storey extensions, garage conversions, and window replacements to homes in conservation areas and listed buildings. This expertise is particularly valuable in areas like the Dulwich Estate, where heritage and aesthetic considerations play a significant role in the decision-making process.

Planning Permission for these types of developments in Southwark often involves ensuring the design complements the street scene, maintaining privacy for neighbors, and meeting conservation guidelines. 4D Planning specializes in navigating these requirements, providing tailored advice, and preparing the necessary documentation to give your project the best chance of approval.
