Wandsworth shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Wandsworth-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Wandsworth alone.

London Borough of Wandsworth, the local planning authority covering Wandsworth, approved 198 residential planning applications and refused 58 in the last 12 months, with 67 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 77%.

Those applications propose around 973 homes, an estimated £554.9m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.
