Planning in Wandsworth
Checked October 2026. Planning policy changes, so we confirm the position for your address before you commit.
The Wandsworth Local Plan was adopted on 19 July 2023 and is the main policy document for planning applications in the borough.
SourceRear extensions should be subservient to the original house, and two-storey extensions directly on the boundary with a neighbour should be avoided (Housing SPD, 2016). The SPD predates the 2023 Local Plan, so it is used as guidance alongside the newer policies.
SourceMulti-level basements are not considered appropriate in Wandsworth, and the council's guide treats keeping at least half the depth of the back garden as good practice (Basements: a Householder Guide).
SourceWandsworth has 46 conservation areas, which vary in size and character.
SourceAdditional HMO licensing covers the whole borough from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2030.
SourceSelective licensing has applied since 1 July 2025 to all private rented homes in the Furzedown, South Balham, Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway areas.
