Builders and renovators in Dulwich.
Much of Dulwich is covered by the Dulwich Estate's Scheme of Management, so external changes to many homes need the Estate's approval as well as the council's. CAP designs and builds extensions, lofts, basements and full refurbishments across Dulwich, with one team from planning through to aftercare.
What a project in Dulwich usually involves.
In Dulwich, many homes fall under a private estate Scheme of Management as well as the council's conservation area controls, so external work can need two separate approvals.
The properties we are asked about in Dulwich are mostly Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses, with mid-century houses on the Estate. Around Dulwich Village, Dulwich Park and Dulwich Picture Gallery, the character of the street shapes what can be built, and we design to suit it.
Planning applications in Dulwich are decided by Southwark Council. Whatever the project, we check which consents your property needs before recommending any spend on drawings.

Building in Dulwich.
Do you work in Dulwich?
Yes. Dulwich (SE21) is about 3 miles from our base on Mitcham Lane in Streatham, and the work we are asked about there is mostly on Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses, with mid-century houses on the Estate.
Do I need planning permission to extend or alter a property in Dulwich?
Usually two approvals are involved. The council decides planning applications, and much of Dulwich is conservation area, so permitted development rights are limited. Separately, many freehold homes are covered by the Dulwich Estate's Scheme of Management, which requires the Estate's approval for external alterations. We plan for both at the outset.
Which council decides planning applications in Dulwich?
Southwark Council. Building regulations approval can come from the council's building control team or from a registered building control approver, and we arrange whichever suits the project.
What kind of properties do you work on in Dulwich?
Mostly Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses, with mid-century houses on the Estate. Around Dulwich Village, Dulwich Park and Dulwich Picture Gallery, the character of the street shapes what can be built, so we look at the property and its surroundings before proposing a design.
