10+ Years Serving Greenwich Homes
Every council in England works to its own local plan, and Greenwich’s carries a distinction almost no other borough on our books can claim. Maritime Greenwich, taking in the Old Royal Naval College, the Queen’s House and the Royal Observatory, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means proposals affecting it or its buffer zone face scrutiny from Historic England and UNESCO alongside standard council planning controls. Beyond the World Heritage core, around 22 conservation areas cover streets in Blackheath, Charlton and West Greenwich, several with Article 4 Directions removing permitted development rights for windows, doors, roofing and painting. BetterLivingSpace checks World Heritage buffer status, conservation area boundaries and Article 4 restrictions for every Greenwich property individually, so nothing we produce is generic and every proposal reflects what actually applies to that address.
