New Builds In Chobham
New homes in and around Chobham face careful scrutiny, because so much of the surrounding land is Green Belt. That makes the planning stage the most important part of any new build here. Every new dwelling requires full planning permission from Surrey Heath Borough Council, and we help you put together a well-prepared application with the right drawings and reports.
Lemon Tree Construction coordinates the architects, structural engineers and building control officers involved, so you have one point of contact. Non-major applications usually take around 8 weeks to decide and major ones around 13 weeks, and we plan the build start accordingly.
Once on site, our team handles everything from foundations to finishing. Your new Chobham home will meet the Future Homes Standard, with a heat pump in place of a gas boiler, stronger insulation, a more airtight structure and solar panels where they suit the roof.
Whether it is a replacement dwelling or a new house on land you already own, we will give you a straight assessment of what the Chobham planning context allows.

Full Project Management For New Builds In Chobham
Chobham sits within a wider Green Belt landscape, so a new build here usually means replacing an existing house or working within tight planning limits. We manage the project from the earliest stage. We engage an architect and a structural engineer, put together the full application for Surrey Heath Borough Council with the right supporting information, then runs the build itself: groundworks, structure, roofing, services and finishes. Building control inspections are booked as each stage completes, and a single contact keeps you updated throughout.
Customisation For New Builds In Chobham
In a village like Chobham, your new home needs to suit both you and its setting. We help you decide what to prioritise when space is limited by planning: perhaps fewer, larger rooms, a vaulted ceiling instead of a second storey, or a garden room that connects the house to its surroundings. Your architect develops the design, we cost each element, and you choose the finishes. Once approved, we build exactly what is on the drawings, with any later change priced and agreed first.
Sustainable Building Practices For New Builds In Chobham
Every new dwelling now has to meet the Future Homes Standard, and in rural Chobham that often suits clients well. Oil and gas give way to a heat pump, the insulation specification rises sharply, and joints are taped and sealed so heat is not lost to draughts. Solar panels are added where the roof faces the sun. Timber comes from responsible sources, and external materials are picked to weather well. The house ends up cheaper to heat and more comfortable through every season.
Transparency For New Builds In Chobham
Planning conditions in a Green Belt setting can add work, so we make sure you understand the costs before committing. Your quote for a Chobham project breaks down every stage and explains any allowances for unknowns such as ground conditions or drainage. A reserve of roughly 10 to 15 per cent is sensible, and we show how it would be drawn on. Throughout the build, updates are frequent and plain, variations are priced in writing, and you will hear from us straight away if anything changes.
