Perivale (UB6) is a well-preserved 1930s suburb of matching semis on curving avenues, where the bread-and-butter work is rear kitchen extensions, hip-to-gable loft conversions and rear dormers. The uniformity of the streetscape means Ealing's officers care about how a proposal reads against its neighbours, so faithful detailing matters more here than in a mixed-age street.

Perivale also sits in the orbit of the Art Deco Hoover Building on Western Avenue and the green ridge of Horsenden Hill, and the Canalside conservation area clips its north-west edge. We design extensions that echo the original bay, render and roof pitch, and we check tree cover and the canal-side boundary so schemes reach Ealing's approval standard first time.

Planning in Perivale (UB6): what to know before you apply

No published householder Article 4 direction in Perivale, so most householder work proceeds under permitted development or a standard Ealing application. Homes near the Canalside conservation area or backing onto Horsenden Hill's open space face tighter scrutiny on materials, roof form and tree protection.

Typical Perivale housing stock

Perivale is a planned interwar suburb of consistent 1930s semis and short terraces, many with curved bays, rendered gables and hipped tiled roofs, arranged on gently curving crescents. Streets rising towards Horsenden Hill keep deep rear gardens well suited to single-storey extensions and loft dormers.

Floor Plans for Perivale (UB6) homes: the package and the process

Every floor plans we prepare for an Perivale property is drawn to London Borough of Ealing’s validation standards and tuned to the UB6 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.

Not every project needs a full planning drawing set. If you are selling or letting a property, drawing up a lease, recording a layout before a refurbishment, or simply want an accurate plan of your home, what you need is a floor plan — a scaled, dimensioned drawing of each level, measured directly from the property rather than estimated from an old plan or an estate agent's rough sketch. DrawingsDirect produces floor plans from a laser-measured site visit, so room sizes, wall thicknesses and door and window positions are accurate, not approximate.

Floor plans are commonly used for estate agency marketing and Rightmove or Zoopla listings, for lease plans required by a mortgage lender or solicitor, for landlords documenting a rental property's layout, or as a straightforward existing-layout record before any building work is decided. They are lighter than a full architectural or planning drawing set — there is no design work, no application, and no borough-specific requirements to satisfy — so turnaround is fast and the fee is correspondingly lower. If you later decide to extend, convert a loft or apply for planning permission, the same laser survey can usually be reused as the base for those drawings rather than re-measuring the property from scratch.

What are floor plans used for?

Floor plans serve several distinct purposes in London property: estate agents use them to market a sale or letting alongside photographs, giving buyers and tenants an accurate sense of layout and scale that a floor plan on its own can convey better than photos; solicitors and lenders often require a lease plan showing the demise of a flat within a building, particularly for leasehold sales or re-mortgages; landlords use them to document a property's layout for reference, insurance or portfolio management; and homeowners use them simply to have an accurate record of their existing layout, whether for their own reference or as the first step before considering any building work.

How accurate are laser-measured floor plans?

We measure every floor plan on site using a laser distance meter rather than a tape measure or estimation from photographs, which keeps room dimensions, wall thicknesses and door and window positions accurate to within a few millimetres. This matters more than it might seem: an estate agent's marketing plan that overstates a room's size can mislead a buyer and cause problems at survey stage, while a lease plan used for legal purposes needs to accurately reflect what a leaseholder actually owns. A laser-measured plan also means that if you later want to use it as the existing-layout drawing for a planning application, it is already accurate enough to build proposed drawings on top of, rather than needing to be re-measured.

FAQ

Floor Plans in Perivale UB6 — FAQs

How much do floor plans cost in London?+
Floor plans start from £450 for a laser-measured, scaled drawing of each floor, with the exact fee depending on the size of the property and the number of floors involved.
How long does it take to get floor plans?+
Most floor plans are ready within a few days of the site survey, considerably faster than a full planning drawing set, since there is no design or application work involved.
Can floor plans be used for a lease or mortgage application?+
Yes — laser-measured floor plans are commonly used as lease plans and for mortgage or re-mortgage purposes; let us know at the outset if you need a specific format or additional detail such as room areas.
Can I reuse my floor plans if I later want to extend or convert my loft?+
Yes — the laser survey behind your floor plans can usually be reused as the existing-layout base drawing for a future planning or building regulations application, saving you from a second site visit.
Do you provide floor plans for estate agents?+
Yes, floor plans are commonly instructed directly by homeowners or via their estate agent ahead of a sale or letting, drawn to scale and ready to use alongside marketing photography.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ealing?+
Many Ealing semis and terraces keep permitted development rights for a single-storey rear extension, so a full application isn't always needed. But the borough-wide Article 4 direction on HMO conversions, and conservation areas such as Bedford Park and Pitshanger, remove or restrict those rights in places. We check your address against the designations first and, where it qualifies, confirm permitted development with a Lawful Development Certificate.
What extra control applies in Bedford Park?+
Bedford Park is one of West London's most tightly controlled conservation areas, with detailed control over materials, rooflines, windows and front elevations. A standard permitted-development dormer or cladding change usually won't apply; instead we design to the area's Arts-and-Crafts character and prepare a full householder application with the elevations and materials the council expects — the reliable route to approval there.
How long does Ealing Council take to decide a householder application?+
Ealing determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once they are validated. The commonest cause of delay is a validation query over missing or inconsistent drawings, so we prepare Ealing submissions to the council's validation checklist — correctly scaled existing and proposed plans, elevations and a location plan — to avoid that back-and-forth.
Can you help with a loft conversion on a 1930s Ealing semi?+
Yes. Ealing's Metro-land semis in Perivale, Greenford and Northolt suit hip-to-gable and dormer loft conversions, which frequently qualify as permitted development on semi-detached homes within the volume limits. We confirm eligibility against those limits and any Article 4 or conservation constraint, then produce the planning and building-regulations drawings.
How much do planning drawings cost in Ealing?+
We work to a fixed fee agreed before we start, typically around 30% below an architect's charge for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until Ealing grants approval. The exact figure depends on the project — a single-storey rear extension differs from a double-storey or a loft — so we quote once we understand your scheme rather than on an open-ended hourly basis.
