Architect in Eltham SE9 | Loft Conversions, Extensions & Planning

Eltham is a spacious and well-established residential suburb in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, offering a distinctive mix of inter-war semi-detached houses, large detached properties, and some Victorian terraces. The area is best known nationally for the magnificent Eltham Palace — a Grade I-listed Art Deco house and medieval great hall now managed by English Heritage — and for Well Hall Pleasaunce and the green open spaces of Oxleas Wood. These heritage assets and green spaces make Eltham one of the most distinctive and sought-after residential areas in outer South East London.

Planning in Eltham SE9

Eltham falls within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The borough’s planning policies support well-designed residential development that respects the predominantly suburban character of SE9. The Well Hall Pleasaunce Conservation Area and the setting of Eltham Palace create planning sensitivities in parts of the postcode. The large inter-war semis and detached houses that characterise Eltham are subject to Greenwich’s Residential Design Guide.

Permitted development rights allow many homeowners in SE9 to carry out rear extensions and loft conversions without full planning permission, subject to specific thresholds. Our architects will confirm the planning position for your property.

Our Services in Eltham

• Loft Conversions: Eltham’s large inter-war semis are ideal for hip-to-gable loft conversions, creating generous master bedroom suites. With the higher property values and larger floor plates in SE9, the return on investment from a loft conversion is excellent.
• House Extensions: Eltham’s substantial garden plots offer excellent scope for large rear extensions and side extensions. We design extensions that complement the character of the existing property and maximise the use of the available plot.
• Planning Applications: We manage all planning applications in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
