New build cost in Tooting.
Tooting — SW17 — south of Balham. Edwardian terraces dominate, with one of London's most affordable housing markets relative to other Wandsworth postcodes.
What makes new-build work in Tooting distinct.
Site context: Edwardian three-bay terraces, almost uniformly suited to L-shape dormer conversions.
Planning: Heaver Estate (partially) and Tooting Common conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most of central Tooting retains PD rights.
Applications go to LB Wandsworth. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

What's the planning process for a new build in Tooting?
Always full planning permission via LB Wandsworth. Heaver Estate (partially) and Tooting Common conservation areas cover specific pockets. Most of central Tooting retains PD rights. Most Tooting 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 Tooting?
Edwardian three-bay terraces, almost uniformly suited to L-shape dormer conversions. Plot types that come up most often in SW17: 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 Tooting are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Tooting new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Tooting), 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 Tooting?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Wandsworth 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.
