Designation introduces a general control over the demolition of unlisted buildings and the felling CHARACTER APPRAISALS 11 or lopping of trees above a certain size. Petersham Conservation Area No.6 11 Ham Common Conservation Area No.7 16 It is a formal requirement that the ‘special interest’, Ham House Conservation Area No.23 20 which justifies designation, is defined by the local Ham Street Sub Area 20 planning authority through a detailed character Ham House Estate Sub Area 22 appraisal of each conservation area.

  • Ham Common Conservation Area 7
    Ham Common Conservation Area 7 Designation Conservation area designated: 14.01.1969 Conservation area extended: 05.07.1977 07.09.1982 19.10.1992 13.01.2004 Location OS Sheets: 1771, 1772 Ham Common conservation area is centred on Ham Common green, which lies between Petersham and Kingston. It is contained by Richmond Park to the East, Ham House estate to the North and the suburban development of Kingston to the South. It adjoins a number of other conservation areas to the North and East. History and Development The development of Ham Common dates from at least the 17th century, associated with the building of Ham House and the laying out of its landscape. The history of this area is also linked with the enclosure of Richmond Park by King Charles I. A number of 18th century mansions were built here by the wealthy, attracted by this picturesque setting and the prestigious location. St Andrew’s Church (listed grade II) was built in 1831. Gradual development around the green continued through the 19th and 20th centuries. Character The conservation area is a distinctive historic settlement centred on the remarkable green of Ham Common. There are important views out from the green to the surrounding parkland setting, contributing to its exceptional rural character and providing an important green backdrop to those buildings which fringe the green. Historically Ham Common plays an important strategic role as part of the wider formal landscape of Ham House and Richmond Park. There are important views along the Great South Avenue towards Ham House and along Ham Gate Avenue towards Richmond Park.

A note about the Ham and Petersham Association. Its origins date from as early as 1933, when it was known as the Ham Ratepayers’ Association. It then became the Ham and Petersham Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association and in 1989 the name finally became the less cumbersome Ham and Petersham Association. In this book, I have generally referred to it by its current title.
