The borough has a strong stock of 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses across Cheam, North Cheam and Belmont, alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses in the older parts of Carshalton and Wallington.

Planning considerations
Sutton Council (London Borough of Sutton) is the local planning authority. Carshalton village and parts of Cheam and Wallington are conservation areas with a number of listed buildings around the historic ponds, which affects alterations to visible elevations and materials. We confirm the position for individual properties at feasibility stage.

FAQs

Do you provide patios & driveways across all of Sutton?

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
If the new or replacement driveway is more than 5 square metres and uses a non-permeable material without a soakaway or permeable drainage solution, planning permission is normally required. Using permeable materials or directing rainwater to a lawn or border avoids this. We advise on the right approach for your property.
