House Extension Drawings in Bedford Park W4
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered house extension drawings for Bedford Park (W4) homeowners — London Borough of Hounslow validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Bedford Park is the original garden suburb — a jewel of 1870s-80s Queen Anne architecture by Norman Shaw and his circle, and one of the most protected residential quarters in London. Here the work is precise conservation-led design: discreet rear extensions, loft and internal reconfiguration, and like-for-like restoration of the red-brick, white-joinery character, rather than anything that alters the celebrated street scene.
With an Article 4 direction removing normal permitted-development rights and a great many listed houses, almost every external change needs planning consent and often listed building consent too. We prepare drawings to that standard for the London Borough of Hounslow — accurate existing surveys, matched historic detailing and a clear heritage rationale — so the scheme is defensible from the first submission.
Planning in Bedford Park (W4): what to know before you apply
Bedford Park is covered by an Article 4 direction and contains numerous listed buildings, so permitted development rights are largely withdrawn and external alterations — windows, doors, roofs, boundary walls — normally require planning and frequently listed building consent. Design must match the original Queen Anne detailing exactly.
Typical Bedford Park housing stock
Bedford Park is the celebrated 1870s-80s 'first garden suburb' of Norman Shaw-influenced Queen Anne houses in red brick with white-painted joinery, tile-hung gables and distinctive fenestration. Many homes on Bath Road, Woodstock Road and the surrounding streets are listed, so work centres on sensitive rear extensions and careful internal reconfiguration rather than visible external change.

House Extension Drawings for Bedford Park (W4) homes: the package and the process
Every house extension drawings we prepare for an Bedford Park property is drawn to London Borough of Hounslow’s validation standards and tuned to the W4 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
A well-drawn extension adds space and value while sailing through the council; a poorly-drawn one triggers objections and refusals. DrawingsDirect draws rear, side-return, wraparound, double-storey and basement extensions for London homes — sized to your borough's tolerances, with daylight and neighbour impact considered before the planners raise them.
Which extension types do you draw?
Every London extension is shaped by the plot, the neighbours and the borough's design guidance. We draw them all.
Rear extension
A single-storey rear extension is often permitted development within depth limits — ideal for an open-plan kitchen-diner.
Side-return
Fills the alley beside a Victorian terrace, widening the ground floor without losing garden.
Wraparound
Combines a rear and side-return extension for a transformative ground floor, usually needing planning permission.
Double-storey
Adds space above and below, subject to tighter scale and neighbour-impact scrutiny.
Basement
Creates space downward where footprint is limited, with structural and party-wall care.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in London?
Single-storey rear extensions within permitted development limits (up to 6m for terraced/semi-detached homes under the larger-home scheme, subject to neighbour consultation) may not need a full application. Wraparounds, double-storeys and anything in a conservation area usually do. We assess your plot and recommend the right route before drawing.
