Frequently asked about Teddington
Is there a Teddington Village conservation area?
No. Teddington's designations are High Street no. 37, Park Road no. 22, The Grove no. 26, Broom Water no. 28, Teddington Lock no. 27, Blackmore's Grove no. 39, Fieldend no. 71, Normansfield no. 59 and King Edwards Grove no. 80.
Does Broom Road have an Article 4 direction?
Broom Road appears on Richmond's Article 4 register as a street within the Teddington Lock conservation area. The conservation area named after the water itself is Broom Water no. 28. As with every Richmond direction, coverage is by house number.
Why is uPVC called out for Teddington High Street?
The High Street Teddington no. 37 statement is one of only four in the borough - with Barnes Green, Mortlake and Twickenham Riverside - that names the use of poor quality products including UPVC as a pressure on the area. Elsewhere the wording is a more general warning about unsympathetic alterations.
What does the council suggest instead?
Its conservation area FAQ points to double and triple glazing inserted into timber frames as the option that keeps a consistent appearance and is unlikely to require permission, and it encourages secondary glazing where original frames are being kept.
Do you work on the postwar estates in Teddington?
Yes. Fieldend no. 71 is a designated conservation area in its own right, and postwar estate housing has its own constraint - consistency across the run usually matters more than the individual opening.
Nine designations across Teddington
Teddington is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and TW11 carries nine of the borough's 85 conservation areas. They are unusually varied: an 18th-century high street, a riverside enclave at Broom Water, a Victorian hospital site at Normansfield and a postwar estate at Fieldend.
The adopted policy is Policy 29, Designated Heritage Assets, in the Local Plan 2024-2039. The practical guidance is the House Extensions and External Alterations SPD (2015), whose window section asks you to repair where possible and, where a window is beyond repair, to replace it with one of the same shape, size and design.
The SPD also warns against modern pastiche on doors - mock Georgian pediments, cornices, pilasters and pillars are described as "nearly always inappropriate". Worth knowing before you pick a door style for a High Street frontage.
