Rear & side extensions in Peckham
Peckham is London Borough of Southwark's victorian + edwardian terraces (1860-1910) + post-war aylesbury + heygate redevelopment submarket. Peckham Rye Conservation Area covers roughly 1,200 properties around the Common — here Southwark has used an Article 4 Direction to withdraw Permitted Development for front elevation changes, so even replacement front doors or sash windows require a planning application.
What a rear & side extensions project looks like here
Peckham Rye Conservation Area covers roughly 1,200 properties around the Common — here Southwark has used an Article 4 Direction to withdraw Permitted Development for front elevation changes, so even replacement front doors or sash windows require a planning application.
Southwark's Core Strategy requires new residential to meet zero-carbon on-site where feasible — for a rear extension over 40 m², this triggers a SAP calc and typically mandates a heat pump rather than a gas boiler replacement, £4,000-£8,000 beyond standard spec.
Many Peckham terraces have original rear yards paved in yellow stock brick — Southwark's Local List protects these as contributing features, so a rear extension over 25 m² must preserve the brick pattern on the retained yard, an unusually specific design constraint.
Rear extensions, side-return infills, wraparound extensions — Permitted Development Class A rights or planning consent under the Article 4 borough overlay; Party Wall etc. Act 1996 notice on any party-wall touch. In Peckham specifically, victorian + edwardian terraces (1860-1910) + post-war aylesbury + heygate redevelopment stock means rear & side extensions scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
