Kew Gardens (the Royal Botanic Gardens) was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, and the Buffer Zone extends roughly 250m into the surrounding residential streets including Mortlake Road, Kew Gardens Road, and Lichfield Road, which means any rear extension within the buffer needs an ICOMOS UK consultation, adding 4-8 weeks to consent.
Richmond upon Thames's Kew Conservation Area covers Kew Green and the immediately surrounding Georgian terraces; the 2014 Article 4 Direction here strips Permitted Development rights for replacement windows and rear extensions, so even a like-for-like sash swap needs a full householder application.
The Edwardian semis around Kew Gardens station typically have rear-return kitchens at 3-3.5m projection, which means a side-return infill extension here can usually be designed within Permitted Development outside the CA, but the same scheme inside the CA always needs a full householder application.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
