Construction Trends in Richmond upon Thames
Conservation areas cover a large part of this borough, from Richmond Green and Kew to Barnes village and central Twickenham, and that shapes what actually gets submitted - basement digs and carefully detailed rear extensions turn up more often here than the large above-ground additions you'd see elsewhere, since planners are protective of street frontages. Teddington and East Sheen, slightly outside the tightest conservation controls, produce more conventional loft conversions and side returns on their Victorian and Edwardian terraces.

Demand for Building Work in Richmond upon Thames

Larger-than-average gardens also mean garden studios and outbuildings do steady business alongside the main house projects, particularly where a full extension would run into conservation constraints.
