Drawings for period houses in Cobham, Surrey

A Cobham house can sit under a conservation area, beside a river with flood zones and inside the Green Belt at once. We prepare planning, listed building and Building Regulations drawings that read those layers first, starting from a constraints check that costs you nothing.

    04The brief

    Three conservation areas in one village

    Cobham Conservation Area was designated on 31 July 1973 by Surrey County Council and is based on the historic core of Church Cobham and the River Mole, including Mill Road, River Hill and Church Street. A street that looks like one place on a walk can be covered by several designations, so we check your exact address before choosing a route.

    Elmbridge also names Cobham Plough Corner and Cobham The Tilt. Cobham (Plough Corner) Conservation Area was designated on 28 November 1990. The Tilt Conservation Area was designated on 31 July 1979 and extended on 10 March 2015.

    A Character Appraisal and Management Proposals document for Cobham was endorsed by planning committee on 11 June 2019. That document is what the officer will hold your drawings against, so we draw to it rather than around it.

    05The detail

    The River Mole, flood zones and the Green Belt

    planning.data.gov.uk records parts of the Cobham conservation area, which follows the River Mole, as intersecting flood risk zones. We read the flood zone for your plot at the constraints check, before the design is fixed.

    planning.data.gov.uk records the Cobham, Cobham (Plough Corner) and The Tilt conservation areas as intersecting the Elmbridge Green Belt. Green Belt covers 58% of Elmbridge, so we confirm whether your plot is affected before we draw.

    Listed houses and older buildings in Elmbridge

    Historic England holds 512 list entries in Elmbridge: 8 at Grade I, 24 at Grade II* and 480 at Grade II. If yours is one of them, listed building consent runs beside planning, and we prepare the drawings for both.

    Its at-risk list carries 4 Elmbridge entries. Roof work on an older house is read closely, so see our mansard roof drawings page for how we draw a roof change in a sensitive setting.

    How Elmbridge has decided householder cases

    Over its most recent four published quarters Elmbridge decided 900 householder applications and granted 81% of them. Those are the council's past decisions, not a forecast for your house.

    Weybridge has its own set of designations: see architectural drawings in Weybridge. We draw each house for the rules on its own street.

    Questions

    Is my Cobham house in a conservation area?

    Possibly in one of three: Cobham, Cobham Plough Corner or Cobham The Tilt. We check the address against all of them, plus listed status and flood zone, in the free constraints check, then send a fixed quote.

    Does flood risk affect an extension near the River Mole?

    It can. planning.data.gov.uk records parts of the Cobham conservation area, which follows the River Mole, as intersecting flood risk zones. Send us the address and we check the flood zone before any design work.

    Do you draw for listed houses in Cobham?

    Yes. Listed building consent is a separate consent from planning, and we prepare the drawings for it at a fixed quote after the free constraints check.

    How are your fees set for a Cobham house?

    Fees are fixed and published, VAT included, and council fees are paid separately. A mansard starts at £845 and a rear extension at £695. Listed building consent is a fixed quote after the free check.
