Home Extensions Cobham
Home Extensions in Cobham
We have completed 10 home extension and loft conversion projects in Cobham, KT11
A Surrey village of large plots and substantial homes, where whole-house remodels and full replacement dwellings sit comfortably alongside more modest rear extensions.
Cobham falls within Elmbridge Borough Council, the same authority covering Esher, Molesey and Thames Ditton, but its historic core and generous plot sizes bring a different set of planning considerations to any of those three.
What we do in Cobham
Cobham’s larger plots make it well suited to ambitious projects — double storey extensions, whole-house remodels, and loft conversions that add whole bedroom suites as part of a wider renovation. Around the historic village core, more sympathetic work respecting the conservation area’s character and its listed buildings is the norm instead.
Planning permission in Cobham
Cobham Conservation Area is based around the historic core of Church Cobham and the River Mole, covering Mill Road, River Hill and Church Street. It includes several listed buildings of real historic significance — the Grade I listed Church of St Andrew, and the GradeII* listed Ham Manor, Cedar House and Church Stile House among them. Elmbridge also designates separate conservation areas at Cobham (Plough Corner), Downside Village, and neighbouring Stoke d’Abernon.
Outside these areas, Cobham’s generous plot sizes mean many single storey extensions fall under permitted development, and the borough’s larger detached homes often have real scope for double storey
extensions or a full replacement dwelling where a property has run its course. Where a full planning application is needed, Elmbridge Borough Council decides it, and we assess conservation status and planning history on the first visit.

Frequently asked questions
Many single storey extensions on Cobham’s larger plots fall under permitted development, but properties within the Cobham, Plough Corner, or Downside Village conservation areas need a full planning application instead. We confirm your exact position at the free consultation.

Often, yes. Cobham’s larger plots make it one of the more common places we see clients choose a full replacement dwelling or an extensive whole-house remodel rather than a straightforward extension, particularly where an existing property has become impractical to work with.
Yes. Alongside the main Cobham Conservation Area around Church Cobham, Elmbridge separately designates Cobham (Plough Corner) and Downside Village, plus neighbouring Stoke d’Abernon. Each carries its own character and design expectations.
