Richmond has a high concentration of Georgian and early Victorian houses around the Green, Richmond Hill and the town centre, with Victorian and Edwardian family houses further out. Much of it is in conservation areas, and many houses are listed. Projects tend to be whole-house refurbishments and carefully designed extensions rather than maximum-size additions.
Building in Richmond
- Conservation areas and listed buildings are extensive, so many projects need listed building consent and close attention to materials and detailing.
- Flood risk near the Thames affects ground floor levels, basements and drainage design on riverside streets.
- Larger gardens give more scope for rear and wrap-around extensions than in inner London, subject to planning.
- Period houses often hide earlier alterations, so refurbishment programmes allow time for opening up and investigation.
