New build cost in West Brompton.
West Brompton — the cemetery-and-station hinge between Fulham, Chelsea and Earls Court. The streets between Lillie Road and the Old Brompton Road are dense Victorian terraces with strong loft potential.
What makes new-build work in West Brompton distinct.
Site context: Three- and four-storey Victorian terraces, many converted to flats but a meaningful share still single-family.
Planning: The Earls Court and Brompton Cemetery conservation areas overlap parts of SW10; expect full planning on most loft applications.
Applications go to Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. 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 West Brompton?
Always full planning permission via Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. The Earls Court and Brompton Cemetery conservation areas overlap parts of SW10; expect full planning on most loft applications. Most West Brompton 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 West Brompton?
Three- and four-storey Victorian terraces, many converted to flats but a meaningful share still single-family. Plot types that come up most often in SW10: 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 West Brompton are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a West Brompton new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of West Brompton), 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 West Brompton?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea 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.
