Can I extend a house in Richmond upon Thames?
River, parks, and many conservation areas. Design is watched.
Places people mean include Richmond, Twickenham, Barnes, Hampton, Teddington.
A modest rear extension can still be fine. A bulky loft, a front change, or anything easy to see from the river or a green will be looked at harder.
The borough borders Elmbridge and other Surrey councils. The postcode decides who the council is.
