The job a measured survey does

It captures sizes. We measure the building on site and give you plans that a designer can draw proposals over. It will not report on condition, so a buyer who also wants damp or structure checked needs a separate surveyor.

Read more on the measured building survey page, or see how it feeds planning drawings.

Greenwich's numbers, taken from open data

Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 September 2026), gives 624 householder decisions for the four quarters to June 2026, prior approvals included, and 95% decided within eight weeks excluding prior approvals.

Those are borough-wide figures. Our Greenwich measured survey page covers the council as a whole.

National planning guidance asks for an identified scale and a north point on plans, with location plans typically at 1:1250 or 1:2500.

Conservation areas and article 4

Royal Greenwich shows 24 conservation-area entries on the national register (our analysis of MHCLG Planning Data Platform datasets, bulk snapshot retrieved 19 October 2026); the council's conservation area map shows whether Kidbrooke streets fall within one.

For SE3 itself, our analysis of the article 4 direction dataset (entity API, retrieved 15 October 2026) found 1 live register row near the SE3 centre point. The register is incomplete, so treat that as a lower bound and ask the council about your address.

Meeting the drawing rules

FAQ

Questions people ask

Do you survey any type of home in Kidbrooke?
Tell us the address, the type of property and what you plan to change, and we confirm what the visit covers.
Does the article 4 figure apply to my road?
It might not. It counts register rows near the SE3 centre point only, and the register is incomplete. Greenwich Council can confirm your street.
