Construction Trends in Greenwich
Greenwich has a varied property mix, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Woolwich, Plumstead, and Abbey Wood to larger inter-war semis and detached homes around Eltham and Mottingham. In the denser northern streets, planning applications often focus on rear additions, loft conversions, and layout changes that make compact homes work harder. Further south, larger plots create more scope for side extensions, double-storey work, garage conversions, and garden buildings.

Planning Approval Times in Greenwich
In Greenwich, most planning applications are decided within 8 weeks. Smaller projects like extensions tend to be approved more quickly, while larger developments can take longer.
Domestic vs Commercial Projects in Greenwich
In Greenwich, the vast majority (85%) of planning applications are domestic projects such as extensions and loft conversions. Commercial developments make up a smaller portion but can offer higher-value opportunities for larger contractors.
Demand for Building Work in Greenwich
Greenwich has become more attractive to buyers who want south-east London access without the pricing pressure of the most expensive inner boroughs. Elizabeth line connections through Woolwich and Abbey Wood have added to that pull, while older housing stock across the borough creates a practical need for upgrades. Many projects are driven by families trying to improve space, layout, insulation, roofing, and general condition rather than just adding headline square footage.
