Those charming Victorian terraces throughout Dulwich weren't built with modern car ownership in mind. Creating additional parking without compromising your home's character requires careful planning and local expertise.

Many properties across SE21, SE22 and SE24 sit on generous plots that could accommodate expanded driveways. Yet navigating Southwark's planning requirements whilst preserving mature trees and period features demands specialist knowledge. Local experience matters when extending driveways near conservation boundaries or alongside protected London plane trees.
Proper foundation work prevents future subsidence issues common to London clay soil. Permeable surfaces help manage surface water runoff - increasingly important given Dulwich's position between Sydenham Hill and Denmark Hill. Smart drainage solutions protect both your property and neighbouring gardens from flooding during heavy rainfall.
Twenty years transforming Dulwich driveways has taught us which materials complement Edwardian brickwork and Georgian facades. Our teams understand the delicate balance between modern functionality and heritage aesthetics that local residents value.
