We are a small office allowing us to remain very involved and inform clients through all the critical stages of a project.
Wimbledon Planning Policy
For any architectural extensions in Wimbledon it is critical to be aware of Merton’s Planning policy. Each property and house arrangement is unique. Atelierdb Architects are skilled in understanding Planning Policy and knowing how to design to achieve best solutions for properties.
Planning policy | Merton Council
For Wimbledon and Merton residents the Local Plan is an insightful read and helps show the Borough’s intent and ambitions over the coming years.
When considering changes or modifications to a property Architects refer to the Local Plan and Supplementary Planning Documents to understand Design opportunities and restrictions. It is important to note that these documents are in some cases guidance based on typical arrangements and known data. There is scope and opportunity to Architecturally challenge the guidance when taking into consideration local context, precedent and form.
Hierarchically, Merton Policy flows from the National Planning Policy guidance.
National Planning Policy Framework – Guidance – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The London Plan is also an important reference document which serves to promote design standards and goals.

Wimbledon Planning Applications
Wimbledon Permitted Development
Despite Permitted Development having a well defined set of definitions, it can be interpreted differently by some Planning departments. There are occasions where new opportunities will arise using Permitted Development and sometimes submitted design information can be quite abstract to achieve a better end result. When reviewing each project we actively engage to inform our clients on the best collective design route. Wimbledon has a number of beautiful Conservation Areas – in which Permitted Development rights are removed, seeing Designs needing to use the Householder of Full Planning Application process.
