Planning at Clifford Avenue

EastSheenMatters rarely comments on planning applications. Clifford House at the corner of Clifford Avenue and the Upper Richmond Road warrants a mention, because of its major impact on the local environment and the manner in which the development has proceeded.

The original proposal, approved in 2025, was for a building with eight residential units. Construction started. On 18 March 2026 the Richmond Planning Committee delegated to officers the approval of a new application for the erection of a part two, part three and part four storey building comprising of twelve residential units, nine x 1-bedroom units and three x 2-bedroom units, including cycle parking, refuse storage, hard and soft landscaping, amendments to site access and other associated works.

This is subject to the completion of a Section 106 Legal Agreement and sundry other matters.

The Richmond Council Planning website refers to the application as still live with a consultation expiry date of 25 March 2026.
