1. The name and contact of the listing officer responsible for the Borough of Richmond Upon Thames, and Petersham.
I am not exactly sure as to what this question is about but it might be related to listed buildings so perhaps a query for colleagues in Town Planning (Jenifer Jackson's department).
2. The name and contact of the 151 officer for the Council.
This appears to be a question for the Director of Resources' team (i.e. Fenella Merry's team)

Please refer to the Richmond Council website: Online maps - London Borough of Richmond upon Thames - and click on the blue 'View Richmond map'. By clicking on the box in the Legend 'Richmond Council Owned Land' it is possible to see all the Council-owned land across the borough. It is possible to enlarge the map to focus on council-owned property in the Petersham area. This facility does not distinguish between Council-owned corporate and non-corporate land.

5. The assessment process for domestic and non-domestic rates in Petersham.
Business rates (non-domestic rates) are not assessed by the Council but are assessed by the Valuation Office Agency. See: - https://www.gov.uk/introduction-to-business-rates/how-your-rates-are-calculated
Council tax banding of residential property is determined by the Valuation Office Agency (rather than by the Council). See: -

The Council has no information on this but please direct your query to HM Revenue and Customs Department.
