Chelsea is Victorian and Georgian terraces, often four storeys and sometimes five. Garden squares sit between them. Most of Chelsea is conservation area, so street fronts rarely change.

The real questions come at the back and on top. Two policies in the 2024 Local Plan decide them. CD13 governs rear additions and CD12 governs roofs.

CD13 holds an addition to the neighbours’ rear line, below the eaves. It also guards the even rhythm along a terrace. So we photograph and measure every back along the row.

CD12 resists an extra storey where a terrace roofline is complete. Where neighbours already built up, an infill can be argued. Precedent along the group is evidence, and we gather it.

An officer then weighs the drawings, elevations and sections against both tests. If the answer is no, we redesign or take it to appeal. Our site team builds whatever is consented.
