Space constraints plague countless SW19 households, particularly near the Tandem Centre where street parking competes with shoppers. Creative driveway solutions transform cramped frontages into functional parking areas. Period properties from Church Road to Christchurch Road benefit immensely from thoughtful extensions that respect original architectural features whilst accommodating modern vehicles.
Permeable surfaces now dominate extension projects across Colliers Wood, addressing both drainage regulations and flood prevention concerns common to properties near the River Wandle. Block paving, resin-bound aggregates, and gravel systems each offer distinct advantages. Material selection depends heavily on existing ground conditions, gradient challenges, and whether your property sits within conservation guidelines affecting parts of SW19.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Merton Council's planning requirements. Years spent working between Mitcham's borders and Tooting's edges mean understanding which properties need full applications versus permitted development rights.
