Floor planning in Ealing
Floor planning in Ealing means a scaled, measured drawing of each storey of your property, and DrawingsDirect prepares them for sale, letting or lease from a published fixed fee of £275 with no VAT to add. The same plans can go on to support a planning application, where the national guidance asks for an identified scale and the direction of north.

What you get for £275
Our published starting fee for scaled floor plans for sale, letting or lease is £275 with no VAT to add. The price sits on our pricing page with no form in front of it, so you can compare it before you speak to anyone.
A floor plan is a flat, top-down drawing of one storey with the rooms, walls, doors and windows laid out to scale. Estate agents, landlords and buyers use it to understand how a home flows before they visit. If you instead need the full set for an extension or loft, the plans start from the same measured survey but carry more detail.
The plan has to be drawn to a scale and show north
Planning practice guidance on making an application says plans and drawings must be drawn to an identified scale, and plans must show the direction of north. We build every floor plan that way, whether it will sit in a sales brochure or be filed with a planning application.
The same guidance says a location plan should typically be at a scale of 1:1250. That is the wider map of where the property sits, not the floor plan itself, but it is the drawing most applications pair with one.

Ealing householder decisions, in the figures
From 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2, the four quarters of MHCLG planning application statistics, the table records 946 householder decisions in Ealing, including prior approvals. Our analysis of that table finds 87% of them were grants.
Across the same four quarters, 96% of householder decisions, excluding prior approvals, were made within 8 weeks. These are figures for the whole borough and say nothing about a particular house, so treat them as background rather than a forecast for your own application.
What happened on householder appeals
Our analysis of the Planning Inspectorate casework database counts 205 householder appeals in Ealing decided as allowed or dismissed, for decisions from 2021 to 2026. Of those, 43% were allowed.
An appeal figure like this shows that some refusals are contested and some contested refusals are overturned. It does not tell you how the council will treat your proposal, so the drawings you submit matter more than any borough average.
Conservation areas and permitted development in Ealing
The Planning Data Platform lists 31 live conservation-area entries for Ealing in the bulk snapshot we retrieved on 14 Aug 2026. Check whether your street is inside one before you design anything beyond a plan of what exists today.
For work that may not need a full application, certificates of lawful development are one route. Our analysis of MHCLG table PS1 finds 1,473 such certificates decided in Ealing over the eight quarters from 2024 Q3 to 2026 Q2. If a certificate is what you need, our lawful development certificate drawings in Ealing page covers the drawings.
