New build cost in Fulham.
Fulham is where we work from — the studio is on Dawes Road, SW6, and our directors visit every Fulham site on foot. The housing is overwhelmingly late-Victorian terrace, which means the same handful of questions come up on nearly every job: what the roof form allows, how far the rear can go, and which of the borough's designations your address sits inside.
What makes new-build work in Fulham distinct.
Site context: Late-Victorian terraced homes on quiet residential streets, with period features, rear gardens and loft potential. Rear outriggers are common, and so are the side-return infills and L-shape dormers they invite.
Planning: Bishop's Park, Walham Green, Moore Park, Peterborough and Parsons Green are all conservation areas, so a large share of SW6 addresses sit inside one. Separately, Hammersmith & Fulham has a borough-wide Article 4 direction in force since 26 April 2018 which removes permitted development for basement development everywhere in the borough — a basement is a planning application wherever you are. It does not touch lofts or rear extensions; your conservation designation is what governs those.
Applications go to LB Hammersmith & Fulham. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

The Fulham multiplier (1.00×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Fulham?
Always full planning permission via LB Hammersmith & Fulham. Bishop's Park, Walham Green, Moore Park, Peterborough and Parsons Green are all conservation areas, so a large share of SW6 addresses sit inside one. Separately, Hammersmith & Fulham has a borough-wide Article 4 direction in force since 26 April 2018 which removes permitted development for basement development everywhere in the borough — a basement is a planning application wherever you are. It does not touch lofts or rear extensions; your conservation designation is what governs those. Most Fulham new builds start with a Pre-Application (£500–£2,500) to test feasibility, then a full planning submission running 13–18 weeks. Conservation areas, Article 4 directions and proximity to listed buildings add scrutiny.
What kind of plot makes sense in Fulham?
Late-Victorian terraced homes on quiet residential streets, with period features, rear gardens and loft potential. Rear outriggers are common, and so are the side-return infills and L-shape dormers they invite. Plot types that come up most often in SW6: replacement of an existing house (demolish + rebuild), side-garden infills on corner plots, and occasional backland sites accessed via a private drive. Plot acquisition prices in Fulham are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Fulham new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Fulham), then 12–18 months on site for a single dwelling, 18–24 months for a large new build, and 24–36 months for multi-unit schemes. Our build programme is fixed in the contract.
How much is CIL in Fulham?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Hammersmith & Fulham publishes its current CIL rates online; we calculate your specific liability at the planning-application stage. Section 106 affordable housing or infrastructure contributions may apply on larger schemes.
