KT2 north of Kingston takes in Coombe, an exclusive district of large detached houses set in landscaped grounds around the Coombe Hill and Coombe Wood golf courses, where owners typically plan a substantial extension, remodelling or an occasional new-build replacement.

Several Coombe conservation areas overlap this outcode, so even though Kingston operates no Article 4 directions a boundary check remains essential, because the low-density, tree-rich character means conservation-area consent and tree constraints often shape what can be built.

Planning in Coombe (KT2): what to know before you apply

Kingston has no Article 4 directions, so outside the conservation areas many householder projects fall under permitted development. Within the Coombe conservation areas, conservation-area consent applies to demolition and larger schemes are best taken through a full householder application, with tree preservation orders checked early.

Typical Coombe housing stock

The Coombe conservation areas hold large Victorian, Edwardian and 20th-century detached houses in spacious landscaped grounds, several by notable architects, set among golf courses and mature woodland north of Kingston town centre.

House Extension Drawings for Coombe (KT2) homes: the package and the process

Every house extension drawings we prepare for an Coombe property is drawn to Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames’s validation standards and tuned to the KT2 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.

A well-drawn extension adds space and value while sailing through the council; a poorly-drawn one triggers objections and refusals. DrawingsDirect draws rear, side-return, wraparound, double-storey and basement extensions for London homes — sized to your borough's tolerances, with daylight and neighbour impact considered before the planners raise them.

Which extension types do you draw?

Every London extension is shaped by the plot, the neighbours and the borough's design guidance. We draw them all.

Rear extension

A single-storey rear extension is often permitted development within depth limits — ideal for an open-plan kitchen-diner.

Side-return

Fills the alley beside a Victorian terrace, widening the ground floor without losing garden.

Wraparound

Combines a rear and side-return extension for a transformative ground floor, usually needing planning permission.

Double-storey

Adds space above and below, subject to tighter scale and neighbour-impact scrutiny.

Basement

Creates space downward where footprint is limited, with structural and party-wall care.

Do I need planning permission for a house extension in London?

Single-storey rear extensions within permitted development limits (up to 6m for terraced/semi-detached homes under the larger-home scheme, subject to neighbour consultation) may not need a full application. Wraparounds, double-storeys and anything in a conservation area usually do. We assess your plot and recommend the right route before drawing.

FAQ

House Extension Drawings in Coombe KT2 — FAQs

How far can I extend without planning permission in London?+
Under permitted development, single-storey rear extensions can reach 3m (terraced/semi) or 4m (detached), or up to 6–8m under the prior-approval larger-home scheme — but conservation areas and Article 4 directions can remove these rights. We check your property first.
Do extension drawings include structural calculations?+
Our full package includes structural drawings and calculations coordinated in-house, so your builder can price and build without waiting on an engineer.
How long do extension drawings take?+
Typically about 7 days from survey to a full drawing set delivered to your online portal.
Will my rear extension need a party wall agreement?+
If you build up to or on a shared boundary, excavate near a neighbour's foundations, or cut into a party wall for a steel, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies. Our drawings show the works clearly so a party wall surveyor — or your neighbour — can see exactly what is proposed, which keeps that process quick.
Can I extend a house in a conservation area?+
Yes, but conservation areas and Article 4 directions commonly remove permitted development for rear and side extensions, so the work needs a full householder application designed to the council's heritage guidance. We confirm your property's designation before recommending a route.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Kingston?+
The interwar semis of New Malden, Chessington and Tolworth often keep permitted development rights for rear extensions and lofts, so a full application isn't always needed. Conservation areas such as Surbiton, Coombe and the town centre, and riverside flood-zone constraints, can restrict this. We check your address first and can confirm permitted development with a Lawful Development Certificate.
My Kingston home is near the river — does flood risk affect my plans?+
It can. Riverside plots near Kingston lie within the Thames flood zone, and the council expects flood-risk and finished-floor-level considerations to be addressed for works there. We evidence these within the application so the council can validate and approve without repeated revisions.
Can I build a larger extension on a Coombe plot?+
Often, yes. The substantial detached houses on the Coombe hill sit on generous plots that make larger rear and double-storey extensions viable, subject to design and amenity policy. We design to use the plot fully within permitted-development allowances or a well-evidenced full application, checking the limits for detached homes first.
How long does the Royal Borough of Kingston take to decide?+
Kingston determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once validated; conservation and riverside cases can involve additional consultation. We prepare submissions to the council's validation checklist to avoid the drawing queries that cause most delays.
How much do planning drawings cost in Kingston?+
We agree a fixed fee before starting, typically around 30% below an architect's fee for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until Kingston approves. A suburban semi extension and a riverside or Coombe scheme differ in the evidence required, so we quote once we understand your address and project rather than by the hour.
