Building in conservation areas in Kensington and Chelsea
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has a total of 38 Conservation Areas, covering around 70% of the borough. As set out in national planning policy, developments within a conservation area must preserve or enhance the special architectural or historic character of the conservation area. Therefore, for projects located in conservation areas, thorough research is essential to grasp the area's history, context and significance.
If your house is set within a conservation area then this doesn't mean that you can't create a modern or creative design, it just means that the proposal must be sympathetic to its context. Conservation areas are designated and protected in order maintain the charm and character of the area that you live in. Our architects are highly familiar with planning law and local guidelines and have successfully handled projects in conservation areas before. If you're in need of an architect, we're more than happy to assist you.
Listed building consent in Kensington and Chelsea
We have a diverse portfolio of heritage projects in London. This has included extensions to listed buildings, renovations, sensitive restorations and internal remodelling.
Working with listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea presents unique challenges and opportunities. These structures, recognised for their historical and architectural significance, require careful consideration and expertise. Firstly, thorough research is essential to understand the building's history, context, and local planning guidelines.
Secondly, appointing an architect that has heritage experience is crucial to navigate the complexities of preservation, renovation and extensions. However, despite these challenges, the process offers a rewarding experience of restoring and enhancing a piece of Kensington and Chelsea's heritage. With a considered design approach, working with listed buildings can result in remarkable transformations that honour the past whilst creating your dream home.
