Extensions, loft conversions, renovations and renewables in Norbury, Thornton Heath, South Norwood, Croydon, Purley and Coulsdon
Our office is at 1417–1419 London Road in Norbury, inside Croydon, so we are never far away. One OKPW team designs your project, deals with the council and builds it.
A sensitive industrial conversion: a characterful Victorian factory turned into two finished, self-contained apartments, keeping the London stock brick and arched windows.
Planning here goes to the London Borough of Croydon. Before we draw anything we check your address: whether it is in a conservation area, whether an Article 4 direction takes away permitted development, and whether the building is listed. Many rear extensions and loft dormers can go ahead under permitted development; where yours cannot, we prepare the drawings and the application for you.
Questions in Croydon
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Croydon?
Planning here goes to the London Borough of Croydon. Many rear extensions and loft dormers in Norbury, Thornton Heath and South Norwood can go ahead as permitted development, but a conservation area, an Article 4 direction or a listed building changes that. We check your address against the council's own maps before we draw anything, and prepare any application for you.

Do I need a skip licence or parking permission for building work in Croydon?
A skip or scaffold on the public road usually needs a licence from the London Borough of Croydon, and a parking bay may need suspending for deliveries. The council also sets the hours you can work. We tell you which apply to your street on the survey.
