New build cost in Shepherd's Bush.
Shepherd's Bush — W12 — spreads west from the green into a dense grid of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. One of London's most active loft conversion markets thanks to a mix of original housing stock and rising property values.
What makes new-build work in Shepherd's Bush distinct.
Site context: Two- and three-storey Victorian terraces, many with original outriggers, plus pockets of 1930s semi-detached housing on the western edges.
Planning: Askew Village and Wendell Park conservation areas cover specific pockets; most of central W12 retains PD rights.
Applications go to LB Hammersmith & Fulham. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

The Shepherd's Bush multiplier (0.98×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Shepherd's Bush?
Always full planning permission via LB Hammersmith & Fulham. Askew Village and Wendell Park conservation areas cover specific pockets; most of central W12 retains PD rights. Most Shepherd's Bush 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 Shepherd's Bush?
Two- and three-storey Victorian terraces, many with original outriggers, plus pockets of 1930s semi-detached housing on the western edges. Plot types that come up most often in W12: 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 Shepherd's Bush are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Shepherd's Bush new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Shepherd's Bush), 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 Shepherd's Bush?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Hammersmith & Fulham 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.
