Planning in Lambeth

Well-established supplementary guidance on rear extensions. Conservation areas in Herne Hill, Clapham Old Town and Kennington need careful design of glazing and roof.

Party Wall Act — what to expect

Terraces trigger two party walls; Kennington's Georgian stock adds vaults/basement complexity.

Read the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 guide for full detail on notices, timelines and surveyor costs.

Typical costs in Lambeth

For a mid-spec 25 m² kitchen extension, all-in (professional fees, planning, party wall, VAT and 12% contingency), expect roughly £115,000 to £175,000. High-spec finishes, structural glazing or a full basement dig-out will push above the top of this range; a smaller side-return can come in under the bottom.
