Planning Permission & Building Regulations in Ealing.
Whether a project in Ealing needs planning permission, and how difficult that permission is to obtain, depends on the property: whether it is in a conservation area, whether it is listed, whether it is a flat with a freeholder, and whether the council has removed permitted development rights on the street. We check all of this at the first visit and tell you the route before any drawings are made.
We then prepare and submit whatever is needed to the London Borough of Ealing: a householder application, a lawful development certificate for permitted development, listed building consent with a heritage statement, or prior approval for a larger extension. Building regulations are handled through an approved inspector or the council's building control, and party wall notices are served where a neighbour's structure is affected.
Because our architects prepare the drawings and our team builds from them, there is no handover between designer, agent and builder. One team is responsible for getting the approval and for building what was approved.

Ealing: the houses and the planning rules.
Ealing, the Queen of the Suburbs, has some of the best family housing in west London: substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses around Ealing Common and Haven Green, red-brick villas along the roads towards Ealing Broadway, and the Arts and Crafts cottages of Brentham Garden Suburb. Several districts are conservation areas.
We have completed two bathroom refurbishments and a fitted kitchen in Ealing, one with a freestanding black bath and walk-in shower, one with Italian tiles and bespoke furniture, and a handle-less kitchen with a quartz island.
The Ealing Common, Ealing Green, Haven Green, Castlebar and Brentham Garden Suburb conservation areas cover the older streets.
London Borough of Ealing
Ealing decides applications. Outside the conservation areas, rear extensions and lofts are often permitted development; within them, Article 4 directions apply on many streets.
Edwardian houses
Deep plans with rear additions suit side-return and wraparound extensions; the roofs generally have enough headroom for a dormer loft.
Brentham Garden Suburb
Tight controls on external changes; internal refurbishment is unaffected but needs building regulations approval.
