What's the planning process for a new build in East Sheen?
Always full planning permission via LB Richmond upon Thames. East Sheen Common and Sheen Lane conservation areas cover specific pockets; most of SW14 retains PD rights. Most East Sheen new builds start with a Pre-Application (£500–£2,500) to test feasibility, then a full planning submission running 13–18 weeks. Conservation areas, Article 4 directions and proximity to listed buildings add scrutiny.
What kind of plot makes sense in East Sheen?
Edwardian terraces with deep outriggers, plus 1930s semis on the streets closer to Richmond Park. Plot types that come up most often in SW14: replacement of an existing house (demolish + rebuild), side-garden infills on corner plots, and occasional backland sites accessed via a private drive. Plot acquisition prices in East Sheen are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a East Sheen new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of East Sheen), then 12–18 months on site for a single dwelling, 18–24 months for a large new build, and 24–36 months for multi-unit schemes. Our build programme is fixed in the contract.
How much is CIL in East Sheen?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Richmond upon Thames publishes its current CIL rates online; we calculate your specific liability at the planning-application stage. Section 106 affordable housing or infrastructure contributions may apply on larger schemes.
