Brook Green in W6 is a sought-after enclave of large Victorian terraces and Edwardian mansion blocks in the green space between Hammersmith and Kensington. Families here typically extend at the rear or into the side return, convert generous lofts, or reconfigure mansion flats, so most of our drawings support space-making projects on characterful period homes.

The Brook Green conservation area and neighbouring designations mean roof alterations, front elevations and materials are all assessed against a strikingly consistent streetscape. We detail schemes to sit comfortably within that grain and present them the way Hammersmith and Fulham's officers expect, which keeps sensitive extensions and loft conversions moving smoothly towards approval.

Planning in Brook Green (W6): what to know before you apply

There is no published householder Article 4 direction we depend on for Brook Green, but the Brook Green conservation area constrains permitted development on roofs and principal elevations. Matching red-brick detail, respecting the scale of the terraces, and checking for protected street trees are the usual design limits on rear and roof works.

Typical Brook Green housing stock

Brook Green is a leafy pocket of large Victorian terraces and red-brick Edwardian mansion blocks set between Hammersmith and Kensington. The generous houses lend themselves to full-width rear extensions, side returns and loft conversions, while the mansion blocks generate careful internal reconfigurations and flat conversions that suit family life in W6.

House Extension Drawings for Brook Green (W6) homes: the package and the process

Every house extension drawings we prepare for an Brook Green property is drawn to London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham’s validation standards and tuned to the W6 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.

FAQ

House Extension Drawings in Brook Green W6 — FAQs

How far can I extend without planning permission in London?+
Under permitted development, single-storey rear extensions can reach 3m (terraced/semi) or 4m (detached), or up to 6–8m under the prior-approval larger-home scheme — but conservation areas and Article 4 directions can remove these rights. We check your property first.
Do extension drawings include structural calculations?+
Our full package includes structural drawings and calculations coordinated in-house, so your builder can price and build without waiting on an engineer.
How long do extension drawings take?+
Typically about 7 days from survey to a full drawing set delivered to your online portal.
Will my rear extension need a party wall agreement?+
If you build up to or on a shared boundary, excavate near a neighbour's foundations, or cut into a party wall for a steel, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies. Our drawings show the works clearly so a party wall surveyor — or your neighbour — can see exactly what is proposed, which keeps that process quick.
Can I extend a house in a conservation area?+
Yes, but conservation areas and Article 4 directions commonly remove permitted development for rear and side extensions, so the work needs a full householder application designed to the council's heritage guidance. We confirm your property's designation before recommending a route.
Do I need planning permission for a side-return extension in Hammersmith & Fulham?+
On the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Fulham and Shepherd's Bush a single-storey side-return or rear extension can fall within permitted development, so a full application isn't always required. Conservation areas across Fulham, Brackenbury and Ravenscourt Park, and the Peterborough Estate, restrict this. We check your street's designation first and can confirm permitted development with a Lawful Development Certificate.
Will I need a Basement Impact Assessment for a basement in Hammersmith & Fulham?+
Likely, yes. The council applies a basement policy requiring a basement impact assessment for below-ground works, covering structural stability, drainage and groundwater. Basement extensions are common on these terraces, so if you are considering one we flag the requirement early and coordinate the structural input so the application is complete when submitted.
What is special about the Peterborough Estate 'Lion houses'?+
The Peterborough Estate's distinctive red-brick 'Lion houses' carry strong conservation control over their external character, so alterations are expected to respect the estate's materials and detailing. We design to that character and prepare a full householder application where permitted development doesn't apply, which is the reliable route to approval there.
How long does Hammersmith & Fulham take to decide?+
The council determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once validated; basement and conservation cases can involve additional consultation. Because the terraces are party-wall-sensitive, we prepare submissions to the borough's residential extension and basement guidance to avoid the drawing queries that cause most delays.
How much do planning drawings cost in Hammersmith & Fulham?+
We agree a fixed fee before we start, typically around 30% below an architect's fee for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until the council approves. A side-return, a loft and a basement differ in complexity, so we quote once we have seen your address and project rather than by the hour.
