House Extensions Richmond & Kew 2026: Complete Guide to Costs, Planning and Design
Updated: Sep 30
Richmond and Kew are two of South West London's most desirable and prestigious areas, renowned for Richmond Park, Kew Gardens, the River Thames and some of the highest property values in outer London. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames contains a wide range of large Victorian, Edwardian, inter-war and detached properties that offer excellent opportunities for house extensions. The combination of generous garden sizes, high property values and family-oriented buyers makes Richmond and Kew outstanding areas for house extension investment. LCCL Construction delivers house extensions across Richmond, Kew and all of South West London as part of our complete design and build service.
House Extensions Richmond and Kew: Best Types for Local Properties
Richmond and Kew properties include a wide range of styles. Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached houses suit rear extensions, side return extensions and wraparound extensions. The larger inter-war and post-war detached houses in Richmond Hill, Ham and Petersham suit generous double storey rear extensions and side extensions. Properties with larger garden plots in Kew and Richmond can accommodate extensions that would not be possible in denser London areas. The generous plot sizes in Richmond and Kew often allow for larger extensions than the standard London permitted development limits.

However the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames has several conservation areas and Richmond Park is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest — properties adjoining or near the park may have additional restrictions. Kew has the Kew Green Conservation Area and parts of Richmond Hill are within the Richmond Hill and Thames Landscape Strategy area which applies strict design guidelines. LCCL Construction checks all planning requirements. See our guide to house extension planning permission in London.
