The objective was to extend this Victorian property into a high-quality, efficient family home while respecting and improving its original character.
A ground-floor side infill, rear extension, large skylights and a loft conversion added light, living space and an extra bedroom. London stock brick and Crittall doors helped form a coherent contemporary rear elevation.

Wandsworth Planning and Building Control
We have delivered many extension and renovation projects in the London Borough of Wandsworth, including homes in Earlsfield and Balham .
Based nearby in Clapham, AURA is well placed to serve the whole borough. We understand Wandsworth Council’s planning policy and use early research to identify conservation-area guidance, property constraints and realistic design opportunities.
Wandsworth contains 46 conservation areas. Where a property is affected, even a modest extension may require a more sensitive response and permitted development rights may be restricted. We assess the relevant position before recommending whether to pursue permitted development, a lawful development certificate or a planning application.
Whether you are considering a large extension, loft or basement conversion, or a complete refurbishment, compliance with building regulations is essential. AURA can coordinate planning, technical design, consultants, tendering and construction-stage support as one joined-up service.
