LetUsBuildYourDreams
Extensions, remodelling and new build houses across Wimbledon, Raynes Park and the SW19 and SW20 postcodes.
Wimbledon carries some of the strongest conservation designations in south London, and the difference between one side of a street and the other can be the difference between permitted development and a full application with heritage justification.
In the SW20 postcode around Raynes Park and Cottenham Park, the prevailing stock is substantial Edwardian and interwar housing on wide plots. Side and rear extensions are common and generally well received where they respect the gap between dwellings — that spacing is the characteristic Merton most consistently defends.
Where a property sits within a conservation area, materials and fenestration carry disproportionate weight in the decision. Getting window detailing and brick selection right is often what separates an approval from a refusal on an otherwise identical scheme.
Not a stock photo library — these are MYD schemes in this borough, with the drawings we produced for them.
Fixed fee, agreed in writing before any work starts — quoted after your free consultation, so it reflects your actual property rather than an average. A householder application to Merton Council carries a statutory eight-week determination period.
We talk through what you want to achieve, look at the property and tell you honestly whether it is likely to get consent.
A measured survey plus a check of planning history, constraints and permitted development rights for your specific address.
We develop the scheme with you and produce the drawings the council needs, revising until you are happy.
We submit, handle the case officer’s questions and negotiate amendments rather than accepting a refusal.
Merton has a number of conservation areas across Wimbledon and the surrounding wards, and boundaries frequently run mid-street. We check the designation, along with any Article 4 direction and listing, for your specific address before advising on what is possible.
Frequently, provided it maintains a meaningful gap to the boundary and does not create a terracing effect along the street. Merton defends the spacing between dwellings consistently, so a design that keeps a set-back at first floor tends to fare much better than one built flush to the boundary.
Yes. Planning approval establishes what you may build; building regulations drawings establish how it is constructed, and are what your builder prices and works from. We produce both.
Three questions, about thirty seconds. We will come back to you with an honest view on whether your Wimbledon project is likely to get consent — before you have spent anything.
MYD Studio designs extensions, conversions and new builds across South and East London. Each project below is anchored to real work we have taken through planning in that borough — explore by area:
