Construction runs from £215 to £800 a sq ft, luxury to super prime finishes. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Notting Hill’s painted stucco terraces and paired villas were built as groups.

The borough judges a change against the group, not the single house.

Many houses are now flats, so a design can stop at one floor.

Some terraces back onto communal gardens. Their garden sides are judged closely too.

Our nearest built work sits in the same borough, in Kensington and Chelsea.

Our RIBA architects draw it, and our quantity surveyor prices it as it grows.

What the borough asks of a Notting Hill design.

Council
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, for planning and listed building consent.
Symmetry
Policy CD13. Additions must keep a group’s symmetry and its important gaps.
Garden fronts
Elevations over communal gardens may matter as much as the street front.
Roofs
Policy CD12. No extra storey on a group whose roofline is still intact.
Front lightwells
Policy CD11 resists new front lightwells and railings where they would harm the street.
Applications
In a conservation area, the borough requires a full application, not outline.

Can I add a storey to my Notting Hill terrace?

Rarely, where the group’s roofline is intact. Policy CD12 resists it.

A group already broken by roof additions is assessed differently.

Do Notting Hill garden elevations matter for planning?

Yes, where they face a communal garden.

The borough says those sides can matter as much as the front.

Can I add a front lightwell to a Notting Hill house?

Only where lightwells are already part of the street’s character.

Policy CD11 resists new ones that would harm the area.

Will you draw a single Notting Hill flat?

Yes. Many houses here are flats now, and we work floor by floor.

The lease decides what needs the freeholder’s consent.

How are Notting Hill architecture fees set?

Per project, from the actual scope.

Our quantity surveyor sets them out before you commit.
