Clifford House development
Richmond upon Thames Council approved plans to increase residential units and make Clifford House car-free.
The Richmond upon Thames Council's Planning Committee approved revised plans for the Clifford House development in March 2026. This decision will see the number of residential units increase from eight to twelve by converting commercial space into two flats and extending the building's rear wing. The development is now set to be car-free, except for disabled parking.
Construction has already commenced at the 424 Upper Richmond Road West, East Sheen site. The original permission, granted in February 2025, allowed for eight residential units and a ground-floor commercial unit. The increase in residential units was deemed necessary for the project's financial viability, according to a March 2026 story.
