KT1 & KT2
Builders in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston is a different planning authority to our Richmond-borough work, and that matters. The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames sets its own local policies, so the route through approval is not identical to TW postcodes.
Kingston covers a wide range of housing. Victorian terraces near the town centre, substantial 1930s semis across the suburbs, and larger detached homes in areas such as Coombe — each suits a different kind of project.
Because Kingston is its own borough, local planning policy, application processes and building control differ from neighbouring Richmond upon Thames. Assuming precedent from a Twickenham or Teddington project carries over is a mistake we see regularly.
The town centre and riverside carry their own constraints around access, parking and delivery windows, which need planning into the programme rather than being handled on the day.

Before you start
Planning in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston falls under the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, a separate planning authority from Richmond upon Thames with its own local plan policies and application process.
Conservation areas exist across parts of the borough, particularly around the older town centre and riverside, and permitted development rights are commonly restricted within them.
Standard permitted development limits still apply outside those areas for many rear extensions and loft conversions, subject to size, height and materials conditions.
General guidance only — planning rules change and depend on your specific address. We confirm the position for your property before any design work begins.

Common questions
Kingston upon Thames FAQs
Do you work across the whole of Kingston borough?
We cover KT1 and KT2 and the surrounding areas regularly. Kingston is a straightforward journey from our Hampton office, so site supervision is not a problem.
Is planning different in Kingston compared to Richmond?
Yes. Kingston upon Thames is a separate borough with its own local plan and planning process. Precedent from a Richmond-borough project does not automatically carry across, so we assess each site against the correct authority.
Do you build new homes from scratch?
Yes. We deliver complete new build homes from groundworks through to handover, including structure, drainage, services, finishes and external works.
