House Extension Drawings in Hillingdon UB10
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered house extension drawings for Hillingdon (UB10) homeowners — London Borough of Hillingdon validation and local constraints handled from the start.
UB10 spans two distinct worlds: the historic village cores of Ickenham and Hillingdon Village, and the large belt of 1930s suburban semis and detached houses around them where most rear and loft projects happen. On the suburban stock the design conversation is about matching established roofline and frontage patterns, which Hillingdon's guidance sets out clearly.
Inside either village conservation area the emphasis shifts to protecting period character around St Giles and St John the Baptist churches, so materials, rooflines and boundary treatments face tighter control. Because the two conservation-area boundaries are compact, we confirm exactly where a UB10 property falls before choosing a permitted-development or full-application route.
Planning in Hillingdon (UB10): what to know before you apply
Most UB10 householder work sits on interwar suburban housing outside the conservation areas, where Hillingdon has well-established expectations for rear depth, side returns and dormers. The Ickenham Village and Hillingdon Village conservation areas are the exceptions — there, heritage-led design and usually a full application are the right approach.
Typical Hillingdon housing stock
Two protected village centres — Ickenham around St Giles Church and Hillingdon Village around St John the Baptist — of period cottages and Victorian houses, ringed by the substantial 1930s semi-detached and detached suburban stock that makes up most of the wider UB10 postcode.

House Extension Drawings for Hillingdon (UB10) homes: the package and the process
Every house extension drawings we prepare for an Hillingdon property is drawn to London Borough of Hillingdon’s validation standards and tuned to the UB10 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.
